Fixed. It's well known that they rely on scare tactics through these exams and other promotional materials to lure students to their lectures and tuition.

+1, they go beyond the course, and to be frank, put questions on a lot of random crap. Stick with other companies.

I actually enjoyed doing the tsfx bio exams...
Some interesting stuff there, and as long as you don't expect to get 100% you're fine. Some of the questions challenge you to think a bit, some questions are utterly ridiculous, but that's, as shinny said, their goal.

I find they depress the hell out of me :( 2011 was ridiculous - I don't see the point of making it a 2 hour practice exam out of 120 when the actual real exam in 90 minutes and 75 marks.
