Default FAA Knowledge Test for PPGL

Thy this link. It allows you to position an aircraft in relation to two
Navaids (VOR or NDB) and play with the indicators.

In pursuit of a PPGL certificate (after many years of flying
ultralights) I have been going thru various glider flying books, study
guides, and the FAA knowledge test questions. In one version I have of
the FAA question list I see that a working knowledge of VOR navigation
is required to answer several test questions correctly. But not much
about it is discussed in the study guides.

I wonder if anyone here has recently taken the private pilot glider
knowledge exam, and if so are there questions in it about VOR
navigation, and other perhaps “obsolete” technology that I need to
learn.
