i also did it way back and didn't like it then. multiple choice tests in 
general suck for actual testing of real world skills and programming 
ones suck even more. no candidate i have reviewed in ages has ever 
mentioned brainbench nor has any client. so in my world it is a 
non-entity. i know of several take home tests from clients that i review 
or see the answers and they tell me much more than any 'cert' could do. 
so does reviewing of existing code samples. there is no reason to even 
consider a timed multiple choice test.
