Reviewers mention thorough exams

Thorough exams are described in six reviews, and seven mention being told what would happen before any work began. It opens Monday to Thursday only, closing at 3 pm on Thursdays. None of its reviews date from the past 12 months, so there is little recent evidence to go on.
