FWIW, I took it a couple weeks ago and also thought it was a lot easier than the first two, (though I didn't get a 100% on it ;-). But I also thought the subject matter was a lot easier than it was for the others. (Ault's "cram" book lists it as a '3' on the difficulty scale, compared to '4' for the sql/pl-sql exam.)
