Is LPI monitoring the answer pattern of candidates that pass the exam. In particular: What Q's are answered WRONG by all candidates that PASS the exam. These Q's are not discriminating, and possibly wrong. These Q's should be reviewed / deleted / rewritten. Othus is right in complaining. "Compromising" those kind f Q's is not wrong in my opinion. It is up to the exam director to prevent these kind of Q's appear in the exams in the first place.

First, I "scrubbed" the questions; my posting omitted key information that might be used be someone to reconstruct the exam. Second, exactly what is the purpose of this mailing list? It's called "exam development". How would a group of people discuss the development of an exam without talking about the questions? The existence of the group invalidates your rationale.

    I would suggest getting involved in the exam development process,
    often times the noticing of a problem is an indication that you're
    supposed to help fix it, at least in my experience.


What do you think I'm doing?

    At the very least, you should fill out the comments on the
    questions, and at the very most you should contact the director of
    exam development with your concerns, not post them to the public list.


Ah, yes, the "comments". My computerized exam made no indication of what would /happen/ to those comments. Why waste my exam time with something that would be thrown away?
    Keep in mind that if a certain number of questions are
    compromised, it can mean the republishing of an exam, which is not
    an inconsiderable expense.


There are at least 7 questions which are inherently bogus. Where was the quality control on this thing? How many years of Linux experience did the exam developers have. I wonder.
