A lot of people have commented about the imprecise wording on the Drake 
(Sylvan) exams.  I agree, although my gripe is with the tests that use a
simulator that does not work well.

The simulator for a MTL search in the Service and Support took almost 10 
minutes on one or more searches. The Simulator on the 3 to 4 Update exam
locked up and refused to continue.


Even more disturbing is the fact that Sylvan knows they have equipment
problems at some locations, but continue to offer the exams that do not
run properly on their limited systems for $85 each.


I was notified by the testing administrator before my Update exam that
the server was not working properly. Sure enough the server console
was full of a whole screen of memory errors. I told the admin I would
reschedule the exam after their proplem was resolved.  The Sylvan admin
told me that their policy required me to take the exam and pay for it 
anyway.  I found that policy to be unbelievable!

Anybody else had the same problem?


Rick
