I have no idea. It appears they did take some steps to hire expertise
from this newsgroup, which is a Good Thing but doesn't necessarily
mean that all or even most problems have been fixed. Nor does it mean
that those problems have /not/ been fixed.




I don't? So what have I been doing for the la... oh, skip it.

My advice in this case is simple. Take as many tests as you like,
but remember that there is no substitute for knowledge. If you
know what you're talking about, the chances are very high that you
will spot problems in any test you do, because these tests are set
by people who, on the whole, only /think/ they know what they're
doing. (Martin Ambuhl excepted, of course. If he has redeveloped the
whole of BrainBench's C test, I don't suppose any problems remain.)

Some year(s) ago, BrainBench offered free testing for 90 days.
They posted this in this newsgroup. Many of the experts from
this group took the test and posted the problems with the test.

I haven't taken the BrainBench test since then. I scored something
like 3.5 on it.
