What i've heard is that the question bank for computer version is alot smaller than paper exam. And since you can take them on different days, you technically could find out what's on the exam by asking someone who took it before you. That's where alot of the 99's came from last year. I also did hear that they are changing it and making the questions bank bigger this year and the test harder.

scsucks,

Just a thought:

If test questions are drawn from a larger pool this year (making the test harder overall, covering a broader scope of material), wouldn't everyone do about equally worse as compared to last year? And, since our scores are percentile ranks, a more difficult test should nail everyone equally.

Maybe this is just wishful thinking 🙄 .
