After that, I couldn't concentrate anymore because 25 points were already missing. Does anyone at the EPO have any idea what this means for a candidate during the exam?

I ended up doing 2x method claims which was a bit strange, and they were both a bit messy, but the ind apparatus claim seemed straightforward. Also, 20m to print is a bit of a joke.
