[Books] The practice test for the web app MCAD exams really sucks

A year or so ago I got the MCAD/MCSD self-paced training kits from MS Press to do the test exams. I've been through 12-13 of the questions now and I've seen an embarrassing number of errors so far. Code snippets with obvious errors that would never compile etc. etc. Right now I'm looking at a question about settings in web.config with 4 answers, and all of them are wrong! Amazing...

This practice test cannot have gone through any review whatsoever by someone who really knows ASP.NET :(

Tbh, I had the same problem with the initial MS Press kit for the WindowsXP MCP.
