Larry,

I personally suspect that far too many candidates ask far too few questions
of the proctors.

As you probably know, the proctors are there to help clarify instructions.
By definition, if something can be intepreted in more than one way, the
proctor is there to remove ambiguity.

So, then the issue becomes can you articulate the multiple ways something
can be intepreted? If you can, you have a legit question for the proctor.

And, by taking the mental energy to consider the different ways to interpret
the task, you'll probably discover on occasion, that, in fact, because of
other info elsewhere in the lab booklet, the task can only be done in a
particular way or either way is OK.

But, I think the process is important. By thinking of how the question can
be interpreted, you'll probably gain insight into what really needs to be
done.

But, don't be hesitent to ask the proctor. In your previous example, I'm
sure the proctor would give you useful info.

HTH, Tim
