Philippe,

I would say that the practice questions in the SRV texts as more
representative of difficulty, if taken as a whole then also perhaps of the
content. Not that the SRV text is perfect (many have commented on errors, I
can think of several that come to mind now) but when you can answer the SRV
questions, spot the SRV suggested answers that are incorrect or very
misleading, and accurately know why they are incorrect and misleading, then
I'd say you are on the right track. There is also a good deal of
questioning in the SRV text that really has nothing to do with the CBK, you
should also be able to spot that accurately and treat it as such. In short,
the Boson test was 'interesting' but not a good indicator of future
performance, in my opinion.
