I wonder if publishers are finding it harder to write content for exam prep these days. With exams changing quickly, free or very inexpensive online training courses, and the plethora of available resources, I think the days of carrying around a fat-book for study is an artifact of the last IT generation.
I showed it off during the Sneak Peek for Server+, but I'll be sure to have my old Sybex Server+ book for the 001 exam in the background, proudly displayed.
I know one thing also I tell my students concerning braindumps - it may or may not be accurate, but it helps dissuade students from using them - I tell them that test vendors like CompTIA and Microsoft will submit their own "braindumps" into the public pool, but those dumps are poisoned. So if a candidate uses one and answers too many questions that align with the poisoned dump, the vendor will know the candidate is using dumps for test prep and take action against them.
But one thing I wish I could find is someone who actually got their credentials expunged from their accounts because they were definitively found cheating. Granted, there's a high degree of confidentiality to be had there - and no one is going to ADMIT they were cheating and got busted...
