Cougar, accordingly to Aerobotika webinar I've recently participated in, to fly near and over people you'll need advanced pilot licence and SFOC.
As for the exams ... I took the Ground School course as well, but it didn't prepared me good enough. I've failed to pass even basic exam, perhaps because English is my second tongue, or perhaps because I'm not smart enough to be a drone pilot LOL. Naturally I'll try again, this time after more elaborate preparation. Luckily as a Ground School alumni I have access to related textbooks and information.
Matthew, to fly near or over LARGE crowds requires SFOC as well as advanced pilot certificate, but there is also requirements on the drone itself in order to be able to do that, if and when the Inspire will be certified to do that will be determined by Transport Canada, and posted on the official webpage.
Some of the questions are deliberately written, so that if you are not 100% sure what the correct answer are, or miss interpret the question, it can easily trip you up. Am sure you will be able to succeed and get your certificate.
As far as the seemingly heavy requirements even to pass the basic exam, think of it as getting a drivers license. Even if you live nowhere near a city and only intend to drive on a farm road, you still need to know all the requirements to drive everywhere, before getting the driver license.
BTW: the exsam for advanced certificate is much more involved.
