All I can say is that the examiner whom you spoke was being very irresponsible giving you such an answer. If it had been myself then I would have promptly reminded him that this was an exam and not a fare paying flight even though it is simulating one and I would very much like to make sure that his brakes are in proper working order should the need arise. Sounds very irresponsible not to check. My examiner on the IR checked his when asked no look of shock or qualms.
