The multiple choice format is limiting, but that's no excuse for the focus on irrelevant knowledge rather that the fundamental scientific principles. Asking which plant Mendel used for genetics experiments or what variable physicists use to denote the speed of light completely misses the point.
It's much more of a scientific trivia quiz than a science quiz. Even so, I agree, some of the questions are just a bit odd to try and answer from memory.
but often it happens you know / that the things you don't trust are the ones you need most....
