The likelyhood that someone can actually "cram" 3000 questions and their answers, and still get 60% of them right where writing the exam, is fairly slim. The entire point of the process is to make "cramming" impossible through sheer volume. Reading through the question pool would be a very good learning experience, and help address the lack of authoritative material for LPI. Considering the pool would be evolving fast (assuming the community picks up), it would also kill the market for exam cram and other gimmicks. _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
