I took my exam in Philadelphia and it was a PM session. i reported at 3pm and i was out of the center by 10:30pm

i made mistakes in every case. but i think i got a majority of points from the history. i was very very nervous, and i am sure that it showed. but i was always friendly, and made eye-contact and talked to each SP. a smile even when nervous, helps you. i think the SP must have been sympathetic to me afterwards.

i typed my PN, and there was enough space. i had to edit all the info i gathered, but i had enough time.

i didn't always have 5 Differential and 5 tests, but i tried to have at least 3 of each. and i am not sure if it was always in most relevant order.

Congrats...even i passed even though i made so many mistakes...i grew up in the US so language and communication skills weren't a problem...but still thought i would fail in the ICE part...I guess scoring is pretty lenient....
