Crappy proctor

I had about the worst proctor there is today. She said shes been administering the test for 20 years, but I really doubt that.

She didn't check anyones ID's. We just told her our name, and she told us where to sit. She was exteremely disorganized, and took almost 20 minutes to seat a class of only about 30 kids.

By the time instructions roll around, she just tells us to fill in everything and that she isn't going to read the instructions becaus we should all know how. When she wrote the address of the Test Center, she wrote it down wrong. I tried telling her she got the city wrong, but she wouldn't believe me. I even showed her the damn address on the Admissions ticket, but she still insisted it was another city. (***???!!!) She then told us the test was 7 sections long, each 25 minutes. When someone asked about the essay, she said she thought there was no essay on the test ...

When the test finally starts, she does nothing to clear anyones desk. People had phones on their desks, calculators during every session etc. We only had one break (And 20 minutes at that ..) during the entire test. She would also give us time warnings, which she is apparently not supposed to do. During the 20 minute break, people were on cell phones and she didn't say a thing.

She also rambled on about the Sacramento FBI stationed around the school. Apparently, the "Sacramento FBI" was making sure none of us took the test booklets from the school. If we did, we would be sent to jail, and would not be able to retake the test for 2 years.

Anyone else have any horror stories like this?

My proctor kept typing throughout the entire test (which was killing me 'cause I sat in front). Else, it was okay (though she gave time warnings but I thought that was allowed...).
