Default FAA Knowledge Test for PPGL

I wonder if anyone here has recently taken the private pilot glider
knowledge exam, and if so are there questions in it about VOR
navigation, and other perhaps “obsolete” technology that I need to

I thought it was odd when they asked those questions 30 years ago; now,
it seems just plain weird with GPS in gliders going on 17+ years!

I hope no one has to do dead reckoning on a glider exam ...
