Java test from brainbench

Question

Hi all. Within three months I need to pass a test from http://www.brainbench.com
Who knows something about these guys? What will be in the test?

Answer 1

Brainbench test are flawed and not a good resource for testing.
Brainbench has a good marketing plan and have been able to grow a client base from this. Their instructional designers, however, leave much to be desired and don't have a deep understanding of the subject matter. It seems as though Brainbench doesn't have a good set of subject matter experts on staff.
What will be in the test?
If you truly know your stuff, you will find a range of typographical errors, subjective topics, questions with multiple correct answers that ask for a single correct answer, questions with no correct answers, flat out illogical questions, and design questions that have no "best" answer but depend upon context and are not appropriate for multiple choice format.
If you don't know your stuff, you will just find a series of questions that on the surface seem like a good test.
If you are HR staff or a technical recruiter, don't bother wasting your money on Brainbench assessments.
If the organization is depending upon Brainbench assessments for hiring, this indicates that they do not have the appropriate skills in-house to adequately perform a technical skills assessment.
And they most likely are unable to indentify the flaws in the Brainbench assessment questions, if they even read them.
As mentioned, Brainbench is succesfully able to sell their services to organizations that do not have significant in-house Java-based software engineers.
Organizations that do have significant Java-based software engineers, most likely are not paying Brainbench to do their assessment.
