As a member of the Certification Committee, Test Environment and facilities are a "Biggie". AWS has rules and standards that the facilities must meet, and rules as to the conduct of the exam. I urge you to complain to the Executive Director, Mr. Ray Shook, about your environmental complaints and starting time complaints, whether you pass of fail.
Do not complain about how hungry you were, or how you missed your coffee, or how hung over you were, or how hard the test was, since those are not germaine.
The tablecloth is also an AWS requirement, and would be a non-issue if I were the Judge.
Good Luck,
Joe Kane
