Not sure, but my guess is that after taking the test at Queens College there were many 'other' things on a persons mind to complain about. For example:
- No parking provided for the test takers (only the testing 'staff') - and in my case, having to walk nearly a mile from where I could find a parking spot on the street to get into the test center.
- Not being allowed to access any water you bring with you until the lunch break or after the test is completed
- Being forced to say outside in the sun (or rain If that was the case), for nearly an hour to get into the building in the morning, than again for the 1:15 during the lunch break
- Having to walk to the opposite end of the athletic building to reach a restroom
- No clocks on the walls at the front of the room (I think I saw one a hundred yards away at the far back corner, but did not bring my binoculars)
For me at least, having to reach down under the table for one of the references in my plastic milk cartons was actually a minor inconvenience. I quickly realized I needed to swap some of the references between the floor and the table as the test went on. It was a much bigger problem however, when the guy at the table next to me had one of his 5-inch loose leaf binders accidentally break open and the sheets went all over the floor (probably because he tried to get about 10 of those on that small table), requiring him and the proctor to walks around everyone's small spaces between the table to pick everything up.
