I recently took the test. It was mostly fair, but:
included (IMO) inappropriate questions on Variety, CFX Tag
writing, CF Administration, Java
programming, etc. which accounted for 20% of the test.
Contained obvious errors such that none of the available choices
for a question were correct.
Code examples were presented in such a way to unnecessarily
confuse the test taker:
variable-spaced font
unnecessary wrapping of short lines of code
inclusion of unnecessary #s within cf statements
As if they were trying to distract you with every means available.
That said, some people put a lot of faith in such tests... so they
could be useful to have in your back pocket.
