Okay. I'll do it here, to see if others share my feelings.
First off: I _really_ liked the LPIC-1 exam. It tests the actual knowledge and experience of the test-taker, and isn't as "narrow" as other certifications I've taken (which really just tests how well you've read and memorized their material).
However, during both the 101 and 102 tests I got several questions that were basically the same, just phrased differently. I understand the need to have multiple questions regarding the same task (for people retaking tests, etc), but should they really show up during the same test?
Also, one of the X11 questions (single-choice) gives you two alternatives that are correct. One is correct for XFree4/Xorg and the other is correct for XFree3
Then there were a few things that I felt were unclear that I can't remember the specifics about, but I left feedback about it during the test. Does that information reach the development folks?
For those of you reading this that haven't taken the test yet, don't let this scare you off. This exam is magnitudes more sane than most other certification-tests.
Regards, James

From what I can see on the LPI website, there doesn't seem to be an option for that, only for the LPIC-3 certification, which is still in the making..
So, is it possible to give feedback, and, do you want it ?
Yes! Were working on setting up RT for this, as well as a web form to submit feedback, but until then the preferred method is to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It will get routed to the exam development folks.
Anything thats not "giving away the farm" can be discussed here of course.
