LOL, Ilene! My daughter read Linda Smith's review book over my shoulder 
when I was studying for recertification 5 years ago. She was only about 
13, and she got most of the answers right too!

I asked her how she knew so much, and she told me "I listen to you when 
you talk to mothers." That and having attended LLL meetings for most of 
her life as well as a play group made up of all breastfeeding mothers 
and their toddlers/preschoolers, watching her little cousins breastfeed, 
and living with a LLL Leader/IBCLC as a mom was all she needed to 
internalize a lot of good breastfeeding knowledge.

There's hope for building a breastfeeding society when our girls get out 
there! (And my son is no slouch either. In addition to doing many 
projects on breastfeeding and home birth when he was in high school, he 
  came home irate from health class one day. "Mom, I need your 'Hale'. 
My teacher said a mother shouldn't breastfeed if she needs to take 
medicine! I have to show her she's wrong." He did go in there the next 
day with Medications and Mother's Milk, the AAP statement on bf, and the 
AAP drug committee's latest article on Transfer of Drugs into Human 
Milk. The teacher rescinded that statement, and told the whole class so!)

Back to the topic - don't panic that your DD got more correct than you 
did, it just shows that you are reading too much into the questions. 
Joanne Scott once said that's why some of the most brilliant LCs don't 
get perfect scores on the exam, because they read into the questions. 
So, I second the "think horses, not zebras" advice.
