LOL! Awesome! Ergonomic chair, pigeon poop, bro-ski… too funny. Not much happened at Calgary test location, Round up centre was good location but cold. They had water for us along the wall (just couldn’t take it back to your seat), easy access to bathrooms in Hall B, with long tables setup in sections (about 54/section). It felt a bit like the OWLs in Harry Potter! The mood was actually dependent on the level… level I’s were pretty upbeat, the rest weren’t so much. After it was over there was a lot of hooting and people ready to party. Most candidates were under 30 I think… A level one candidate was sitting ahead of me in the level II section who looked a bit like Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting. Good thing the proctors caught it or he’d be like “What the h*%% is this?” so he was moved back to the level I section. Two ladies in my section left within 2 hrs, and I was so hungry by then I was ready to fill in B’s and leave too. Ratios seemed to be about 1/5 for women to men. Lots of nice looking men for us ladies to look at while we sat around for 45 minutes waiting for the exam to start x 2. I saw a couple of guys with 2 calculators. We all seemed to have the same brand of pencils too. Our proctors were ok, lots of seniors, but I found their lurking distracting.
This happened at the DC test center: 1. Some guy managed to sneak in a flask of whiskey into the test area. As soon as the proctor took away his exam papers, he just sat there and started chugging. 2. As people were getting up to leave, while still IN the test room, someone’s cell phone starts going off in the middle of the crowd.
