AFAIK, there is really no good standardized exam for neuroscience. Eg, see someone ask the same question and get no replies here: http://www.funfaculty.org/drupal/node/4331
The old Kandel textbooks used to have questions at the end of at least some chapters, but recent editions do not have them IIRC.
If you're interested in the medical side of things, there's a lot of good practice multiple choice questions you can do for psychiatry and/or neurology, that med students use when preparing for Step I. USMLERx and UWORLD are both good qbanks, but they're fairly expensive and you'll only want a subset of them.
For awhile I was going through CalTech's 100 Questions: http://www.cns.caltech.edu/academics/100questions.html , but I only got until #18 or so before my interests change too much to make it worthwhile to continue. (Some of which you can find here: http://brainslab.wordpress.com/category/100-questions/.)
Please update me if you find anything, since I'd be curious about this too.
The 100 Questions link is really nice- I particularly liked this question: "How random are synaptic events? And why (both from a functional as well as from a biophysical point of view)?" I am not sure why this question hadn't already occurred to me, but I'm glad I have it now.
The second link contains an extra comma at the end.
