Guy near me at his own ergonomic chair. He wheeled it in on a dolly.
the women’s bathroom overflowed at one of the NYC test centers, some dude got pissed and started yelling at the proctors. Pretty ridiculous.
nice…lol
that proctor was being a dick; not only did I yell at him, but i found out where he lived and kicked his ass like that scene in fight club where that blond dood gets sent to the hospital
Same thing occurred at the Dec '10 L1 exam. At the Chicago test location, they hire some Amish people to be proctors for the exam. I find it hilarious to see Amish people (who swear off technology) to be inspecting people’s calculators to see if they have been tampered with. It’s just a funny sight.

homie Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > how does the women’s bathroom affect the dude. smell. at the Chicago exam (with over 1000 people there), there were massive lines for the mens bathrooms and nothing for the womens. just shows the huge split in test takers (way more men than women). i’ve never been to a public location in my life where there is a line for the guy’s bathroom and nothing for the women.
in December 10, most of the proctors were English-native-speakers. It really should cost a lot to hire people from England (transportation, hotel, food…) Last Saturday most of the proctors were French, is CFAI saving money ?
Kind of strange, I sat next to the same person I sat next to for Level I in December. Walked in, sat down, and when we both realized it, he looks at me and goes “Well I guess congratulations are in order - and good luck” haha.

This happened for me at L2 as well. The exact same people were there in what seemed to be the same order…with some obvious gaps (“where did that tall dude go?”) for those who didn’t make it. They must sort by name or candidate number.

This is too funny. The exact same thing happened to me, only we both sat for Level I in June 2010 and both passed. We said the exact same thing.
Nothing funny to report, everyone was grim and shall I say “dreary”. That was funny.
A proctor came up to me to check my watch. He said “Don’t worry, I’m doing this just because she(the head proctor) is watching at me and making sure I’m not slacking off.”
you guys are amazing. I could never remember who sat next to me at Level I. It would be a tail-end event if that happens to me coz I moved city. In fact, I find many candiates kinda look the same, most in jeans and t-shirts, girls tie hair up by some sort of rubber band, and guys with glasses, etc.
I took it at Pace in Pleasantville and I was utterly disgusted with the lack of eye candy in the proctor department… We had fking senior citizens and fat slobs monitoring us. Nothing to look at… so depressing. Next time I am sticking to NYC. For some reason I find the presence of hot proctors mentally stimulating

Same here, had the same guys who sat in front and behind me at Level 1 in June last year, sitting in the same places for Level 2. Only noticed the guy behind me when I came back for the PM, though when it was all over the feeling was pretty much we’ll be sitting in the same sections next year for the same Level.
I was funny in the morning. I took everything with me, except for a calculator, so I had to borrow. But I was so tired to study for a whole week non-stop that I just noticed the funny side of the event, and was joking with non-understanding proctors that I should just go home. Also it was funny when a proctor was trying to convince me that my document was not valid, and he was looking at my last year’s visa to another country. When I wanted to show him where to look, he actually didn’t give me my document, literally tearing it off my hands, instead he asked another proctor. Typical hateful stubborn Spanish old guy.
a guy sitting next to me forgot to bring his calculator… i was surprised how one can forget when this exam is only once in a year… by the time i digested this he started using fingures for calcuation with some murmur that totally astonished me… he appeared to be quite brainy and i am sure he must be either Indian or chinese.
