Reading instructions is easy, interpreting them is more of a challenge and the following them is hard. The reason for this is that you're not in the frame of mind as the person writing the instructions. The person writing instructions has an objective and those are not always clear or made clear to the person following them.
I think instructions are generally hard to follow when you are nervous. When you are in a test or exam for some strange reason george (English) just leaves you then all of a sudden things you know don't make sense. Nervousness kicks common sense out of the window.
A test or exam environment makes it hard to follow instructions. As a student it always feels like the lecturer is out to get you. The lecturers say they are not, but it just always feels that way.
Instructions are meant to make things easier, but they seem to confuse and make matters worse. Honestly sometimes I don't follow instructions...well I guess it answers the question above.
