I was listening to the Kim Kommando radio show last weekend. She talked about stock photography and getting into the business, etc.

She mentioned that some of the stock photo companies have a test that you must take before they allow you to post to their site. Not a very difficult test, but basic questions about exposure, etc. designed to weed out people who have no legitmate business posting to a stock photo site.

Has anyone ever taken this so called test?

Were the questions so easy that you could guess through it? Or were the questions fair enough to meet their objective?

I have taken a couple similar test on various stock websites. If I recall correctly it just takes a little common sense and a tad amount of photo knowledge to pass these tests. Nothing real hard or really technical.
