Scio's NSZ

I participated on NSZ (roughly translated "National comparative exams") of Scio. But not as a student (I don't have to care about my entry exams anymore), but as an admin. The exams took place in our school (among other places) and me and Meldath (among others) got the opportunity to help in organization ('cause there wasn't enough admins from teachers and other people).
When I read the instructions, I was terrified and I was sure I'd mess it up. We had to come today morning. There was a lot of other admins, Mr. Vackar as the main coordinator. Other admins had already had more experience, so we, the new ones, were distributed to those "elders" (there were always two admins in one classroom). I was together with Mr. Kadlec (who I knew a bit, he used to teach me, so we talked for a while till it started).
There was a lot of formal issues (after all, it's quite important to get to your dreamed university, isn't it), but still there was not even a hint of some compromising of the validity of the exams, don't worry :-) Sometimes, time was pressing. The weather was hot and stuffy, I didn't really care, but the participants may have had a hard time concentrating...
There was also a few people I know as participants, one person I met was in a bad shape (some flu?), poor girl (and she can't go the next time, as she'll have some other university entry exams), I hope she did it as well as possible, even though.
Exams went rather smoothly, no one tried to cheat. I participated on General learning aptitude and Social sciences tests, Math and Language tests were taken by less people (interesting, the learning aptitude one is kind of a standard, but are the social sciences schools less willing to do their own tests?; or is it that a lot of technical schools don't require entry exams at all?), so I was no longer needed.
