I bought it too ..and was disappointed.

1) Many of the Questions seems like CCIE written Qs. Didn't have the
open-ended nature as expected.
2) Some Qs didn't have associated diagrams.
3) User cannot go back and select a different answer.
4) The software has some pre-defined formats for expected answers. My
answers has to match exactly one of them.
5) Software does not allow to stop and continue at a later time. This is
very annoying.

Hope the IE team take notice and make it better qualitatively, than rushing
to dump Questions to their database.
