I devoured a tube of Pringles on the way home, and am just starting another. Pot Noodle for lunch. Scampi and Chips for tea!
I've missed eating junk!
For someone who has his first go at this coming in a year's time, how does it work logistically? Someone checking you do 7 laps of a track and you're required to keep your own pace I assume? And how does that equate to your running speed - a steady jog for 12 minutes, or do people find you need to be pushing a little bit?

You must run continuously for 12 minutes and complete a minimum of 2600m in that time. If you run faster, complete the distance earlier and then choose to stop you will fail the test.Can't find the excat working but you will know:
Is it that you must
a) complete 2600m in 12 minutes (start, do 2600m, stop, wait for the rest)
or
b) run for 12 mins whithin which you must cover a min of 2600m (start, do min 2600m , keep going till 12 mins is up)?
Please read this twice before resposnding as there is a difference between the two.
Therefore is there any benefit to doing more than the 2600 (ie those that do 3000 are graded higher than those that do the 2601 - I have been told this is not the case as this would no longer make it a pass / fail examination but a rading on ability).
The 2,600 metres is the minimum distance you must cover over the 12 minutes. However, you have to keep running for the entirety of the 12 minutes. Fortunately I passed mine today and finished at 3,000 metres, so couldn't have just stopped once crossing the line after 6.5 laps.Can't find the excat working but you will know:

Brilliant news3000m this morning at Winchester (L3 test). Happy to report that everyone who started the tests on the day passed.
If you train you will pass
One of my refereeing friends, 53 years old and newly promoted to L4, just took his test and ran 3,100m, 300 more than any of the other 25 attendees. Unnecessary .. but highly impressive!News in of a couple of fails from a localish test, both for 50+ YO referees. One was 10m short and will go again in 4 weeks. The other retired from refereeing on the spot.
