I wonder if anyone here has recently taken the private pilot glider

I don't quite meed your criteria, since I haven't taken the test
recently, but it's probably safe to assume that those silly VOR
questions are still on the test. Be sure that you have the latest
edition of whatever prep book you are using, because I seem to recall
that the FAA tinkered with the question bank in recent months.

My technique with FAA tests is to use the online test prep services,
then just continue taking practice tests until I am consistently scoring
above 90. It's my experience that a high written test score will lead
to a far more relaxed oral.

Good luck and welcome to soaring.
