That's exactly the impression I got too Chris. Glad I'm not the only
one to see it that way! I felt a bit inadequate there for a moment. :)

Regardless, my advice still stands (if it still matters coming from a
"unsuccessful" exam taker) -- don't rush the exam and take your time.
Some of the questions are tricky in their wording.

As an aside -- for those who are unsuccessful with the exam, don't
worry, it doesn't mean your a bad programmer. I've been programming PHP
for five years now, and there's very little I can't do with it.

I just stink at exams; I get antsy when sitting for 30-60 minutes with
just a pencil and paper in a quiet room.
