I don't get why they didn't just take a note of who they thought had "inadequate" ID and stop them after the exam rather than causing a load of hassle at the beginning. He said it threw him completely so he's kicking up a big fuss and complaining..

It was hilarious how everyone ran for the toilet (myself included) just before the exam started. Don't know how they hadn't gotten their act together, I think there might've been an issue with some of the foreign passports. A friend of a friend was almost not allowed sit the exam cos he didn't look enough like his 14 year old self in the passport photo.

Hard to gauge how well/poorly I did. I didn't get stuck per se, and I finished with time in hand, though I would have liked a bit more time to check over one or two questions. Section 2: Quite a bit harder than the Sample Paper. In the Sample, I only got two wrong. I imagine I still did well in this section for the real thing, though I think I likely got several more wrong than in the sample. Section 3: Struggled with this in the Sample greatly, oddly, though challenging today, I progressed very smoothly. I hope to attain at least 260. And if you saw a tall (6'3") with curly, auburn hair and a particularly tight, blue Hilfiger shirt with white stripes, that was me. :cool:
