Any of y'all taken the FAA commercial written recently?

We're having a spell of bad weather here, so I got the ASA commercial
test prep book for hangar flying fun. I've got all the flight
experience needed for a commercial, minus the specific practical test
preparation, so I guess I'll try for that rating for my next BFR.

What I see is that the questions are still all full of what I call
"Simon says" type problems: absurdly picky gotchas along with
impossible to read fuzzy graphs. In one of them the "right" answer is
689 feet ground roll and one of the wrong answers is 716 feet. Now how
can anyone read those fuzzy pictures precisely enough to tell the
difference?

So, for anyone's who's done it lately: do you get a printed, fuzzy
book to read the charts from on the actual computer test? How is the
test run? It's been quite awhile since I took private and instrument.
Things might have changed since then.

One more rant: why do they have so many ADF questions? How long has it
been since anyone's seen an airplane with a working ADF?


Yesterday.
