Just finished the astronomy test and passed with a 53 out of 87 (48 is passing).
There were maybe half a dozen questions that I could answer right off the bat, others...not so much. I thought I was doing pretty well and would score much higher than I did but I guess there were more questions I didn't know than I originally thought.
Mostly star stuff, not a whole lot of scientist specific stuff, although it was there.
Just read whatever you can get your hands on. I read alot on Wikipedia (after I finished the study guide) and, even though I know it's not a reliable source, it still got me familiarized with different astronomy terms and gave pictures.
