I had some "weak" areas in my first poly (3 weeks ago) as my SSO described.  ??? I am being "re-examined" next week and need a little advice on identifying control questions.  The poly is for the "SI" part of my TS clearance with an agency that shall remain un-named (begins with N). (I work for a contractor)

First let me say, I sure wish I had found your site before my first exam. It would have saved me all this trouble and worry.  My examiner pulled all those tricks and basically beat me down.  I don't have anything to confess but he sure did get me to tell more about my personal life than I would have liked. I was 100% truthful on the exam.  I have read in other posts that this agency uses the MGQT format for their exams.

I was never asked any direct lie questions and never given a stim test.  Is that normal?  Are typical control questions like:

"have you been trufull in the exam today?"?

How about questions like "Is your name Jane Doe.?" Is this an Irrevalant question?

The chair I sat in was big and comfy. Could it have sensors in it?  

I'm not as nervous about my second exam because from what I read the test is BS.  I can't believe I fell for it the first time. ::)
