And I think I waited 2 months to get my results.

Dang, I feel old...
When I took the GRE I had to travel 2 hours out of state because the then governor of New York would not allow the test to be given within NY because the test questions were not made public after the exam. The upside was that during the overnight hotel stay I got to know the person I later dated and married.
