Very good point. I got somewhat burned the last time I took the test.
I had a lot of problem trying to understand what they where asking for
on the VPN section. I found the wording of the questions very confusing.

My recommend for the VPN questions is to ask the proctor questions about
what they are looking for. Certainly the proctor won't give you the answer
but at least maybe explain what is being asked.

  But I would still practice doing IPSEC. If you can do this I would think
any of the VPN questions shouldn't be a problem.
