I had a horror filled experience. My layout was LG-RC-LR. I thought overall the content was not too unexpected but RC I struggled with a little. But to my horror, right at the last minute of RC and the ENTIRE LR section, someone outside decided to turn on their leaf blower. It was the loudest noise I have ever heard. And it was on and off the entire time. I couldn't hear myself think at all. I rushed through the section like a crazy person. At one point I was crying but also didn't want to do that loudly because I didn't want the proctor to tell me I was breaking rules by making noise.

I thought I could drown out the noise eventually or get used to it but it was right outside the door and was unbearably loud. I practiced in distracting settings before with people talking in the background or some other random noises, but I could not have ever predicted or simulated a noise like a leaf blower right outside the door. I just couldn't believe what was happening. After months and months and months of studying, a LEAF BLOWER may be the thing that doomed my test. Completely out of my control but I felt like I got punched in the gut.

Anyways, I hope everyone had a better testing experience. Good luck to you all :)

That makes sense. Be prepared for the full 5 sections and skim down if necessary later. Never hurts to be prepared. Thank you!
