On my first attempt, i had a proctor who was probably the most unhelpful bloke
i've ever met! So much for Cisco's statement of "the proctors are there to
help you!"

On my second and final attempt, i had the pleasure of having coming across the
most pleasant lady in Sao Paulo. She definately made the whole experience more
comfortable.
