Buried on the EPO web site, a new mock pre-exam has been made available for extra practice.
Most importantly, the answering scheme is given - you fill in a true-false answer sheet with a pancil, so that answers may be corrected.
So bring a black medium soft HB pencil, and an eraser to the pre-exam
Both mock pre-exams are available here.

Update on Pre-Exam
The Mock exam from last year has now been updated - the Examination Board has updated the multiple choice format to a true/false format. There are no negative marks, but the positive marks are not linear to encourage attempting all questions.
This is a major improvement over the earlier format - the amount of text that has to be read is now greatly reduced. Those with English/French or German as a second language should feel a little more comfortable about the new format.
As they indicate, this may not necessarily reflect the final format or the final marking scheme.
It comprises 10 legal questions based on the DI 2007, and 10 claim analysis based on A 2004.
The questions are here in German / English / French. An answer sheet is provided on the last page
The answers are here
It can also be answered online here

Pre-exam EQE 2012 - update
I have heard from some candidates preparing for EQE 2010 who have been invited to help try out a mock version of the pre-exam in Munich and London. This seems like a very smart way to test both the format and level of the pre-exam using guinea-pigs of about the right level.
Although we still have to wait until March to hear definitely what will be tested and how, we know that the mock pre-exam has:
