    how about you do the exam and cheat however make note of the actual answers so in future if someone did ask that question you'd actually know the answer. Yes it's still cheating but as long as you know the answers and understand them you can still kind of justify it to yourself why you've got the rate increase.

    Me personally, wouldn't have even brough it to the board! and maybe give some money to charity to balance out your karma (spelling) if you believe in that sort of thing

    (BTW - this was THE most important lesson, I've ever learnt. I grew up the moment this thought dawned on me...)

    I did this in a science class at school, aged about 13. The teacher was well known for setting the same tests year after year. I had actually completed the 30 question test before he had finished handing out the test papers to the entire class. He noticed what I'd done and asked me what on earth I was doing. He actually believed my answer that it was just my rough work and I was going to go over it more thoroughly later. I did revise my answers to ensure I only got 28/30

    Are you talking about braindumping?

    Braindumping = cheating

    Lots of people with certs they've cheated to get = lots of people with certs

    Lots of people with certs = warped expectations of pimps and clients hence phrases like "must have" and "do not apply unless you have" on gig applications

    Of course there are plenty of us who don't do or need certs to get gigs but pimps don't know the difference and use these certs to filter out CVs.

    Therefore unless you have said cert on your CV chances are your CV hasn't made it past pimp filter phase 1 on a number of occassions...

    .....because everyone and his dog have braindumped their way into having one and they'll get put forward for an interview before you

    This is what cheating and braindumping does to the market - you decide whether it's right or wrong

    Chances are the "answers" you had were planted and the real test is the honesty test...

    It wasn't an accident - it was a carefully, well thought out, executed plan.

    Where 7 other people conspired to achieve the goal.
