[xxxlouxxx]

I thought this may be great information for some. Have read through many posts asking for what is the easiest or most difficult exam to take. I personally believe that easy or hard = amount of work you put into it. The only results/statistics available are from military test centers to my knowledge. Here is the data from 2008:
