Have a look at the Brainbench CF exam. - http://www.brainbench.com
The questions cover most advanced CF topics with the odd no-brainer
thrown in. I can't remember the pass mark but I passed easily after
about 9 months CF experience. Because its unsupervised you can use
reference material(like the real world) but your completion time
is factored in.
I'd say its a good dress rehearsal for the CF exam - and its free!!!
