Why don't you LEARN MQ - start by reading the system administration guide, interconnection, client and go from there.

Don't try to devalue the certifications by cheating with dumps, if you want to get certified USE THE PRODUCT.

N,
I would simply say that this entire site constitutes one big brain dump from all of us that have taken the test. Many questions posed on this site are nearly identical to those given on some of the tests (but we just don't label them as such )
I agree that the best way to prepare for the test is to be very familiar with the various MQSeries manuals. I would just point out that I know some of the authors of the certification tests, and I know that they created a pool of questions from which some are chosen at random to appear on the test each time people take it. However this pool of potential questions is quite small (in relation to the number of questions on the test itself) which means that if we started posting answers we would very quickly provide people with a cheatsheet of sorts, such that they would be able to pass the test without really understanding all the concepts. I think that is what glen was alluding to.
That all being said, I'll give you a hint about the exam. The sample questions on the IBM site aren't "samples" at all. Some of these questions actually appear on the real exam, however they are usually asked in some slightly different way, like changing "which of these are" to "which of these are NOT", etc. This precludes you from just memorizing the answers to the sample questions (because the right answer may be slightly different) but means that the sample questions can be a very, very valuable study tool, provided that you learn the concept behind each question.
