I have taken several times in several countries
1 It was given by Ozzy’s with a VERY thick accent, I had no problem but some people never knew what they were saying, and parts of the test was clear oriented to airlines. They were asking a bout push backs and most people taking it were GA pilots, that never have been pushed back....
2 it was a Chinese that the interviewer, talked terrible english (yes this time was a interview portion)
3 another time in the Middle East, they told me that they could only give level 5
4 I have an FAA license without restrictions, so I do not really need it, but this is my experience
