Default Border Patrol Test

Took it last week with a buddy of mine from college. Didn't think I was going to pass it as one of the sections is an artificial language and they ask you a bunch of very difficult questions. Got a letter in the mail today saying I passed it
Has anyone else taken the exam?

That's called the DLAB, Lieutenant.

DLAB stands for Defense Language Aptitude Battery.
