Yes and I was not trying to make a special case for anyone. I was interested in the process and I do not agree with that equal weighting. If equal weighting is to be placed on languages, we should be testing it orally. This is not necessarily from personal experience but people tend to exaggerate how good they are in a language at an interview or in an application.
