Michael, 

I agree with Stu.  I would also add that the more knowledgeable you are when 
you speak to the proctor the less likely they will be to get annoyed.

As far as the ACL goes I have been told the same thing as Stu-  If the task 
doesn't mention it I'm not going to check it.  So if you elaborate too much or 
read into the task too much you waste time.  If you don't pay attention to the 
detail then you potentially lose points.  You have to find the balance and 
whatever is unclear you ask the proctor on and get you're moneys worth!
