Just an addendum to BrainBench. I've subsequently passed the test after a second attempt only to be told by the interviewer in another department of the same company that their experience was that BrainBench wasn't a good indicator ! (surprise surprise:rolleyes ) and proceeded to give a somewhat better verbal test.
The only way you can pass BrainBench (i.e. "guru" status :rolleyes ) is practice it. I can't believe that anybody would pass it cold even after reading c++ books.
Hopefully they'll get rid of this BrainBench cos it's simply forcing everybody to pay about 50 dollars ago in practice runs just to pass it, not to mention sweat blood and toil.

Experience doesn't help, lets face it how often have you implemented ->*. and the brainbench is full of obscure things that you normally don't use, plus they give you 1.5 minutes to answer each question, with all sorts of nasty obscure code rotating bits etc and bit arithmetic in recursive routines. Then there are the ambiguous jargon questions.
