If you don't know the subject matter, how can you tell whether a test is poorly written?
In my experience (and I'm not picking on anyone in specific here, and there are plenty of excpetions), those who complain about the test *generally* only want a high score (that is, they want the answers). Those who take the test as a learning experience and research the answers *generally* don't complain about the test.
Yes, there are a few questions each year that could be better. But, since no one requires 100% (
afaik), those generally don't affect the results.
