Wife and I took the test today at Harry Hays building. Arrived at 1245 - pre briefing took place almost bang on 1pm. About a dozen people were called out to go in one line and the rest put in another line. Those called out first seemed to have more "in depth" questioning.
Interview was about 5 mins - quick check of documents - PR card, Alberta health card, passport (and previously expired one), and invitation letter were all that we were asked for; then a few general questions about work,where we live etc - just checking our English comprehension i guess.
Test didn't start until 2.10pm - we both found it very easy - we had both read the book a few times and had done a few online tests. We both got 20/20 - i was finished in 5 mins and my wife was one of the last to finish because she likes to check everything 10 times. Waiting for her did give me the opportunity to watch everyone else come out - my guess is there were about 12 fails in the group.
Now just have to wait for the oath letter.............

Yes Colonel,
We were there yesterday too and we spent way more time waiting whilst people's documents are being checked than for the test itself.
By my watch, I spent 4 mins 35 seconds completing the test.
My wife too time too, she was there for like ten minutes.
I concluded it was more about checking out documents and verifying our IDs than the test itself, that said, preparing for any test always helps.
The book and on-line practice and you can score 100% too.
