Hear, hear. I only tried the CIT one, but I have to agree that the
questions and answers are so garbled that they make you think you won't
pass the test. They appear to be written by a non-English speaker (no
offence to those of you in that category) and/or a non Cisco-speaker. I
agree that they confuse the issue. The real tests are not worded nearly as
badly.
