Does the actual exam have as many “trick” questions as the study test banks? I don’t know if trick questions is the right word, but many of the MCQ in my study materials (Gleim) are worded strangely and are based on the small out of the ordinary details rather than the main concepts. On some of my 20 MCQ mini testlets I find that there are more questions on these small details than on the basic concepts. I am familiar with these little details thanks to this and I expect the test to have questions on some of these small details and out of the ordinary circumstances, but am curious if there are as many on the actual exam or if there is more of a focus on the bigger picture. Any input is appreciated!

There are definitely some.

I'm starting to get too far removed to answer in too much detail but I definitely remember some questions that looked easy at first glance but a small rule changes the answer. Tax phase outs would be a good example, I would advise to not fly through any single question, make sure you read it a couple times before you move on.
