I thought maybe I could ask Charles to extract Sept 2004 data so I could sample some of the comments and see what we're dealing with. I will not be able to match the comments to the items directly, since I haven't taken the exams, but once I have a better look, maybe someone could help with that?
I think it's time for you to give up the idea that you can still take the exams :) I can guarantee you that looking at the comments alone will either be be meaningless (and a waste of time) or will bias your test taking. Whomever does this needs access to the items.
I agree with Charles. For the same reason I never had the chance to try Level-2. (on the other hand , now I can claim that I could have passed it, but I was never allowed to ;-)
But I still recommend that every technical staff member should prepare for and take our exams regularaly, just to see the system from a user perspective. The result won't count due to biased test taking, of course.
As for the comments: some feedback comment took me up to 30 minutes to examine, if the candidate or the user is right. Sometimes this involves studying LSB or doing hands-on tests.
Therefore I am so ambitious to put as much meta data (item explanation, pointer to relevant standards, explanation of foils, etc.) into the item database as possible. :-)
I'll send you the english comments for september and give you an idea of the number of non-english comments submitted (if any).

Tabatha,
if you have GPG, I'll send you my collected and preanalyzed comments of the exam labs I proctored. So you have an idea what I used to send to Kara.
