Ok fuck the TCEQ

Ok so I got my license back in 2012 and moved out of state and let it go. So recently I was like ok I'm just gunna retest and get it going again. WRONG. even before I got my license I was in maintenance and I've been in around the landscape scene for 20 FUCKING YEARS. I've done this shit here and in the PNW which is literally another level of insanity up there. I've been irrigation Forman for Walmart Installs all the way down to repairing a single head for a residential customer. The TCEQ test is ABSOLUTELY rigged. There was a backflow question about PVBs in the design section and there were at least 3 hydraulics questions that no one in right fucking mind would ever see or do in reality. There were plot plans with no answer. The design section had weirdo questions about people being made of 74% water etc and theres garbage in there that is specifically designed to be obscure or misleading. A bunch of the questions had a paragraph of info that literally had nothing to do with the actual question. I aced the exam the first time back in 2012 when even back then it only had like a 10% initial pass rate and i had near zero experience with irrigation. I'll take it one more time then I'll fucking walk. Fuck the tceq I was doing them a favor by going through the re licensing process but if they are engaging in this crap then fuck it. Luckily I'm way out in the hill country so no one gives a fuck out here. Ride or die.
