It has been over a year now, the exam seems like a distant memory. But I agree the Ethics ones were hard. Also some of the questions regarding earned value and critical path were pretty tricky, required me to draw things out on the scratch pad. But in general, a lot of it is based on logic.
Pamela - there are some things you definetly wants to forget. Even one month after my first PMI test, I didn't want to se the PMBOK at all :) (joke!)

Thanks for your input, have you cast your vote here:

Too long ago for my exam
I think most people don't like to make calculation under a chronometer so that would put cost, schedule and risk at the top of the list

For me, it was costs. But that is because we don't manage costs in the same detail as what is in PMBOK.
