I recently took a pre-employment polygraph for a police officer position.  I had used marijuana a few times in high school and disclosed that on my questionnaire.  The total time for the test was about two hours including the pre-test interview.  I was run through two series of questions which consisted of ten questions each.  At the end of the test the examiner said there was some issue in the area of drug use and asked what I was thinking about when asked about drugs.  At no time was I accused of deception or lying.  I made no further admission about drug use.  I asked the examiner how I did and he said that he would have another examiner review the chart but that “you are on the right side of the page”, whatever that means.   

The questions I have are; does that fact that he asked me what I was thinking about regarding a question constitute a post exam interview, and what do you think are my chances of passing the exam?

I agree.  It sounds to me like the polygrapher was taking a last stab at fishing for something before turning you loose.
