#13

guangzhou China, 1900.

#14

New Jersey - Meadowlands Exp Center.

#15

Yeah, rather large facility, 3 seperate rooms…was a mess…MLS game going on next door as well, didn’t help the issue…

#16

Philadelphia. MehdiOchre, where were you?

#17

London - about 8000 I think (see my other post). I asked for the A/C to be turned down and they said that they had many complaints about the cold and were going to do something about it. Did anyone see the guy roll under the door in London and then get rejected because he was late!?!! That was hilarious. The shutters were coming down on the door and tried to scramble under the door (like Indiana Jones) but was turned away. Ouch.

#18

Los Angeles test center - Pomona Fairplex - announcer got pissed off after the AM session because people started standing up to leave in the middle of him reading the announcement right before lunch and he yelled “YOU ARE NOT DISMISSED”. He then apologized after lunch.

He then apologized after lunch. Funny… Same thing in Philly. That announcer was annoying. I think it’s a requirement for them to attempt to be intimidating. he also yelled at people after everyone started walking out. Never apologized though. It’s funny seeing everyone rushing back to their seats like the middle school days.

#20

NJ - Meadowlands. Perhaps 1200 to 1500 in the room. No interesting stories. Some cute proctors though.
