This year's exam, administered on Sunday, drew nearly a million registrants from around the country. The preliminary test drills logic, reasoning skills, and detailed knowledge of a mind-numbing bevy of facts, news snippets and concepts covering everything from obscure geological and historical facts to contemporary legal, political and health news.

No, but I'd give it a fair try-out. Can the crew at EPA and see how works out.
