If by dump, you mean braindump, you are aware that those are actual questions taken from the real exam. Using or distributing braindumps can result in your certifications being revoked and possibly blacklisted from ever taking cert exams ever again.
From the looks of things, those are screenshots of the actual exam, the same exam that you will be writing.

I have to agree with Gail. I have also reported the post to ssc suggesting that the attachment be deleted as it may violate Microsoft NDA agreements.

No 'may' about it. It's actual screenshots of the exam. (I've written the exam)

I have found it somewhere on the network. I was not aware of that. I have removed it. Sorry for troubles.

Hi,
I'm surprised to see that even Microsoft documentation uses the term "brain-dump".
I'm not clear on what that term means.
Is a "brain-dump" when someone writes the exam then tries to remember and write down the questions?

That or other methods of obtaining and posting the actual questions from the exams.

Thanks to "Brain-Dumps", I decided to stick with my Novell certifications, and ditched a training program I was in about 11 years ago. Why you ask? Well - I was quite excited at the prospect to become Microsoft Certified (it was the MCSA/MCSE track many years ago when I was still a wee ol' network admin/engineer), and was going to build a lab for me and my partner to develop and do our study and work in.
Unfortunately - he found the brain-dump sites, and decided to cheat. I was so enraged that I told my boss to save his money and forget it. I was not going to waste my time with the walk of shame (because I absolutely suck at taking tests) when someone else would just cheat and pass first time out.
Bad attitude, I know, but it really pissed me off.
Oh yeah - I take my 70-450 test tomorrow afternoon. I've had all of 1 day of study, but my current employer had vouchers that are only good through the month, so no use in letting them go to waste. I am going to do my best to pass it first time.

A couple weeks before I left the bank I had a colleague come up to me one morning, wave an exam results paper at me and say something to the order of 'See, I know more about SQL than you do'. He'd scored higher on the exam than I had when I'd written it several months earlier.
Problem is, I know full well that he'd studied from braindumps, I'd seen them on his desk in the weeks leading up to the exam.

Pssshhh...What nerve.
I hate to say this (because no one should be denied the opportunity to make a living), but there really are some people who I just wish were not in our industry. No one is perfect, and I by no means am advocating for anyone cheating on anything, but the fact that this dude would flaunt it in your face that way...Well - I hope you got a good laugh from it Gail, because his actions are about as laughable as they are believable.
That being said - if you are looking for a good testing system (other than the Transcenders) I am using the MeasureUp testing modules for this and 70-432 (since I only have a book for 70-432), and they are very good resources (in addition to the ones that everyone else has already mentioned).
Oh yeah - back to studying!

I did, especially since there was a brand new MVP certificate on my desk at the time.

My next TS and ITP I'm writing cold (no studying). The exam after that has no practice exams available for it (as well it should not)
