Written test.. was Rim thingy..

[Cy Shuster]

Please note that the questions I've posted aren't from the RPT exam itself.
These are questions from a self-evaluation exam posted on the PTG page, and
last updated three years ago.

I've read elsewhere that the philosophy of the entire RPT testing process is
not to reflect test-specific knowledge gained in some cram session, but
rather to give a general of expertise gathered in the field over time.
