Has anyone ever gotten sick while taking the exam?
The prometric place is so strict I’m not sure how that will be handled.

I have reason to believe that I might be feeling a bit nauseous when I take my next exam….. and I don’t know what the protocol is. I’d hate to dart out of the room to puke and void my entire exam!

If you tell them ahead of time and bring a note from your doctor, will they make accommodations?

I only have one exam left and the rest are expiring soon, so I’m really worried about this.

you need to contact NASBA and prometric regarding the procedures. Definitely get a signed letter from your doctor.

I was sick as a dog when I took REG. Full blown bronchitis. They were very nice when I told them I'd need tissues, but that's about it. If you're worried about puking, talk to the moderators ahead of time and let them know. If you've got a stomach bug, don't go in!

I don't know about Prometric but I was just getting over the flu when I was sitting for the GMAT to get into grad school. I'm not sure if they are similar, but the GMAT is quite strict about what you can take in. I had to use their tissues and I had to unwrap my cough drops in front of them and place them unwrapped on a tissue that they provided me. Then the cough drops stuck to the tissues but I ate them anyway because I was dying. So that was pleasant. I'm sure they were watching me and laughing while I stuck a cough drop covered in Kleenex in my mouth. Oh well.

Live a few years like most people won't, to live the rest of your life like most people can't.
