I saw Ajarn Chai test two people in New Jersey and the test was just as brutal as this one. I think it means something to pass a test of this nature. You feel like you really earned your stripes. My JJJ Black Belt exam was about 6 hours long and I was near dead to the point of an outer body experience but besides Army Life I would not trade that experience for anything. It's like once in a lifetime; then you carry your badge of Honor for the rest of your life.
It took a lot of Heart and Courage to retake that test 6 months later!!
