How was the speed determined for a sending test? I know I couldn't sit
down at a straight key and send at a specific numeric speed. I can send
at a comfortable speed for me to receive, or roughly match speeds with
the other operator, but send at exactly 16wpm, no way.
In my experience, the examiner just listened a little and then said 'OK'. I
took it twice (13 and 20 wpm), and I don't know anyone who failed it. I don't
know about commercial tests, but I was allowed to bring a (large, homebrew)
keyer to my extra class test. The examiner just unplugged it when he'd heard
enough (luckily I was too young to have a heart attack).
