I want to make another comment about how these questions are much more trivial, when compared to the mathematics SAT which has a lot of problem solving. I suggest have users solve more problems using computers, and less problems about computers.

I'm only making these comments because I don't want this to fail.

Thanks for the feedback! We try to have a good mix of trivial, novice, intermediate, and advanced questions.

Some of the multiple choice questions are fact-based and just require a Google search -- this is intentional, since proper Googling skills are still needed for the job :)

Problem solving questions are better formatted as open-response essay questions, which we do have.

thanks for the replies
