304 tube to plate lap, no purge.
My question is, what kind of impression should I have about that?
Is it to be expected that there would not be a purge in a situation like a test?
Was the fact that the metal was greasy the universe's way of telling me to bring acetone to my next test?
Or does this sound like a half ***ed shop?
Everything else about it was totally unprofessional, so either way wouldn't shock me.
This was the first test I've taken and I'm just a bit confused, about everything

Should I go ahead and start practicing on dirty metal with no purge using pure tungsten that's been dipped in an aluminum puddle on the wrong polarity with my underwear on my head to be able to anticipate the next Jacob's Ladder hospital welding shop I step into?

Alright, I'm shutting up. Any input from anyone who's ever been on either side of a test would be appreciated.
