Sorry to know Kevin that you missed this time, you will make it next time. IPexepert boot camps are great and very helpful. I would agree to give the exam in San Jose as well just because of the first reason you gave, No offense to David but he is difficult. I heard that some new lady is replacing him already and she is appearing on couple of days per week. But she is tough as well. I liked proctor Tung Wu at San Jose much better. Best of luck to you and everyone who is trying sincerely.
