I wouldn't see why he would.  IF you have enough volunteer examiners
to actually supervise the session why should there be any.

Speaking of which does anybody happen to have that VE manual as ascii
text?  I've got my printed copy which my xyl read to me before I took
the open book exam but would like to have it as an ascii where it's
actually searchable if I wanted to.  Cassettes aren't quite searchable
handily, and I don't do mp3.
