Unfortunately that's true - no one certifies the certifier. I always wanted to know which ones I got wrong after an OCP test, but they would not even provide a copy of the test and my answer sheet.

Since I normally only got fewer than 3 questions wrong, it's relatively easy to recall those questions and verify the correct answers later. The biggest problem of the tests, I think, is that some questions are baddly written - seems that they intended to confuse you with the wording instead of test your real knowledge of the described situation.
