So I took the test at Jacksonville University and suddenly I hear a musical instrument playing during one of my sections. It was a f****** bagpipe. A BAGPIPE?!?!?! Turns out the university was hosting a graduation at the same time. They probably played for 5 minutes but it felt like an eternity.
Unbelievable.

That sucks big time. I feel your pain because in June the proctor called time 5 minutes early on a section and it really screwed with me.

I guess if it isnt one thing, its another :/. hopefully it didnt influence my score too bad. I just figured out it was during a real section, not experimental. ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well, Im not sure if it is as bad as bagpipes but I had anunusual experience as well. I took the test at East Carolina University, and we had an elderly gentleman in our room dressed in army fatigues that was definately not mentall stable! he said he has taken the test at least once a year for the last five years and never read a question on the test. He just bubbled in answers and closed the book! He didn't even attempt the writing section! The worst part was he would ask silly question like "does the pitt county airport allow 747's or private jets to land at the airport!" So i found myself wondering at many different points if this guy was gonna just flip out and open fire on us or something!

Thats nothing. After handing out the test my proctors got into some sort of dispute and ALL of them stepped out into the hallway to talk for a few minutes.
