>From what I gathered after taking the test, I don't think the same
test was uniformly handed out. So no, I was not the only one that took
a different test. Even if I was, I don't think it's a huge issue
because as long as they score my test fairly, what does it matter.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty
recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity:
but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on
their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
