A TPR instructor mentioned that left-handed people are told to sit in the front of the room. He said this was minimize any chances of cheating (since right-handed desk adjacent to left-handed desk would be close enough to potentially peer off exams). Can anyone verify if this is true? If so, is it an enforced requirement or merely a suggestion? I don't know if it'd make much of a difference but I'd like to know since this is the first I've heard of it. Plus, I've heard that people in the front of the room have sometimes had problems with distracting proctors (proctors talking with each other or flipping the pages of a newspaper).
left-handers required to sit in front of room?

It might depend on the testing site. When I took the test in April, I got to sit in the back of the room.

This doesn't make complete sense to me though given the fact that there are potentially several different test forms being used around the room at a given time. If you have form BG and the people around you have forms AF, BD, etcetera, it doesn't matter whether or not you can see their answer sheets.
To clarify: we don't get to pick out seats for the test?
My kaplan instructor swore up and down that we did.
Dang, bummer...I'm left-handed and really wanted to get the seat of my choice....and somehow I just don't see the AAMC saying I had a "disadvantage" since I was seated at a right-handed desk. 😛
