Experiences vary greatly. I was treated with courtesy and respect, the medical form tallies closely with the recording of the assessment. Other people have been treated with rather less respect and one poster today has said that the medical form certainly does not reflect what went on in her assessment.
One thing that you need to be aware of is that the assessment begins as soon as you get within range of the asessment centre and does not finish until you are out of range afterwards. There are no 'casual' questions, everything that is asked has a purpose and a great deal will be inferred from your replies.

My first medical, just over 2 years ago, I had a lovely lady who completely understood what I was saying. Because it was the first I'd had, I tried to do all the physical things she asked, but it was her that told me not to do anything that causes me pain. I was put into the WRAG.
I went a short while ago and got a woman who must have just taken an instant dislike to me. [phrase removed] about everything bar the weakness in my hands which she said was inconsistent with my observed behaviour. I would definitely either ask to have it recorded or have someone with you to corroborate your story, or just plain record it yourself. It seems to be luck of the draw with these people.
Try not to worry too much, because you can only do what you can do. Good luck.
