The one I tested on didn't. 6 foot Young Chang, arrived at the hotel as I was arriving at the test. Temperature about 68 in the hotel room, which was across the hall from an indoor swimming pool. The room (drapes closed) had west windows. The temperature started to rise as the afternoon went on. They asked if I wanted the air conditioner. I was afraid that it would throw the tuning. Should probably have said yes. It was at least 85 F by the end of the test. Soared through, except the temperament, which I squeaked through with many discrepancies just barely over 1 cent. Trying experience, for me and the examiners. Glad if it's done better now. Susan </body> </html>
