When I tested in February with Duane Anthony we were required to do a double order we also had to do one last year, guess it just depends on who is giving the exam; I like to do it although it is becoming a thing of the past.
I agree with a lot of what you are suggesting but the part about rejecting from just the one lodge and different standards for lodges in the same jurisdiction in my opinion wouldn't work.
