But why don't the creators of the exam (this is just a suggestion) take it themselves in a similar setting as everyone else and see how they do on it.  That way they can assess how the exam is administered and possibly make it better. Or if not get guinea pigs (in our profession I'm sure some of us don't mind being guinea pigs) and make it better for those who are interested
