Anything funny happen at your test center?

true story.
the guy in front of me took the entire L3 exam without a calculator. the proctor was checking everyones calculators at checkin and legit said to him - you dont have a calculator??? and he said nope. he sat the whole morning without a calculator.
i thought for sure he would run home during the break or go and buy a calculator for the afternoon.
alas - he showed up for the afternoon without a calculator. he sat for the whole afternoon without a calculator.
whoever you are “no calculator” guy - i give you mad respect if you pass. if not, thank you for completing the entire exam and helping the rest of us.
 
There was a suit guy at level 3 in Hartford - but in his defense he was going to wedding right after. Still though, wearing that tie throughout the exam? C’mon
Also - smokehow level 3 candidate 2 rows ahead of me - I was the guy crackng jokes about drunk guys and bacon. HMU if you live near Stamford
 
Heard one of the PROCTORS in the Level 1 Hall for my location fainted because she “felt the anxiety in the room.”
 
Dude sitting directly in front of me dropped to the ground and did a set of push ups before PM section started.

Morning session I was sitting the level 3 in Dubai and right before the 15 min to the exam start time there was suddenly a big freaking queue to the toilet like a trail of 45 to 55 folks waiting in a line to “redeem” themselves before the start….
looking at them made me wanna go as well but the proctor said I need to wait till the exam starts so I asked can she then explain to me what is that behind her back …. Anyhow can’t argue with the Arab lady in condors (the local national dress) so I waited and right after I signed the pledge I happily raised my hand and went to have my relief…

Whomever visited the UAE knows the vast diversity mix of the population in here. The test center is in a huge hall in Dubai World Trade Center, maybe 5000 candidates from 3 levels; so:
- An Arabian man (most likely Lebanese) in a suit with a very very short tie. WE HAVE OUR OWN SUIT GUY, HURRAY.
- Several Europeans seemed coming directly from bed with whatever clothes they had in.
- There was one extremely pregnant lady. She seemed overdue.
- The weather now is hot, yet about a third came with jackets. Maybe they assumed the hall would be cold.
- Approximately 30% from Indian subcontinent, 15% Asians, 15% Europeans, 10% locals (<= am there), 20% non local Arabs, 10% others.
- It seems in France it’s ok for beautiful girls to pursue financial studies. French ladies were hands down the most beautiful bunch in the hall. Beside one Aussie girl (Aussiette?)
- In the hallway there was a ticketing booth selling tickets to the upcoming Disney show, Princess on Ice. I kid you not, I bought tickets for me and my friends. I saw Anna and Elsa on the banner. Though it’s getting annoying, I really really felt wanna listen to “Let it Go” live. We’re going on Thursday.

just to clarify the population :Indians 70 percent , Asians 5, local Arabs 5, other Arabs 10, other nationalities 10 that s more like it

man or because of these folks the MPS is going higher and higher …
 
In Chicago there was one set of bathrooms in the common area, the line for dudes was like 30 deep, the womens rest room was no waiting.. I guess the M/F ratio must have been very high..
This was 10 minutes before they opened the exam room, no way I was going to stand in that line. I saw some guy talking to a proctor at a side entrance to the exam room the proctors were using, and I see him go through a side door, I followed him and it led to an empty bathroom that was clean. Felt like I was in a 5 star resort compared to the bathroom I would have used! Weird how very few people actually figured that out..
 
This tool showed up wearing a flamboyant suit similar to what you’d see Liberace wear….i didnt really see the humor, just found it to be pretty gay
