Well, the 2019 final exam [0] lacks such questions; it must have been some other year. But the correct data type for an "AccountBalance" variable (section C, question 9) was a float, so I definitely lost marks on that question!
The 2021 final exam (which is the most recent I can find) [1] somehow creates XML records for a SQL database (section C, question 7), and hints at using "data validation" to avoid an SQL injection (section C, question 11.c), which is quite exciting. And the 3.5 gigabit wireless connection (section A, question 13) is definitely not using an ISP-supplied router.
