I have to second this. I just took the test yesterday and saw a couple
of questions that (I thought) just plain sucked and a couple more that I
had serious doubts about their validity. I kept thinking "oh, that's a
fluke" but it was only later it dawned on me that I'm talking about 5
points worth of flukes and if I get a 69.9, I'm going to really regret
not filling out the question comment form(s).

I don't think there's a dispute mechanism in place for the CISSP (is
there one?) but even then, I'm pretty sure that trying to dispute a
guestion after you've failed isn't going to work at all. :)

Now that's a good idea (where was this post yesterday? :)). Keep in
mind that if you pass, you won't get any results back but if you fail,
you'll get a break down by domain on how you did.
