Those descriptions are pretty vague to me, but some of it sounds slanted towards code reviews. Without further context it's kind of hard to determine what they're referring to. "Application problems" could mean a lot of things from basic functional review to behavior analysis in memory.
Regarding the GCIA assessment test, are you talking about the practice exams? It's pretty rare that anyone has one to give out. If you're planning to challenge the GCIA exam I believe they provide you with two practice exams when you sign up and pay the fee. I think at one point you could buy practice exams for $100 each. Not sure about now. Or if you're talking about the quiz to see if you're ready for the SEC503 course, you can look at this:
