FAA Knowledge Test for PPGL

In pursuit of a PPGL certificate (after many years of flying
ultralights) I have been going thru various glider flying books, study
guides, and the FAA knowledge test questions. In one version I have of
the FAA question list I see that a working knowledge of VOR navigation
is required to answer several test questions correctly. But not much
about it is discussed in the study guides.

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
learn.

Google VOR navigation there's a ton of tutorials, go to an airport
take an hour of dual with an instructor and tell him all you want to
do is see how a VOR works for your glider check ride if you got the
time and money.

ok I took the test last Aug 2011. No VOR questions came up--that is possible given random test question selection. In my test book guide I saw no mention of VOR requirements or questions. However I also used the on line exam prep site for Glider and VOR type questions (And ADF) came up on their practice exams. That said, there aren't many.

Took the pratical in Jan 2012. No VOR or ADF questions at all. Also they are not mentioned in Practical Test Standards so I wasn't expecting any.

Hope that helps.
