What would you do if you got diarrhoea in an exam??

I keep thinking of things that could go wrong when I'm sitting my (very important) A-Levels this summer, and then I thought, "**** (no pun intended) what would I do if I got diarrhoea??" I mean, if you need to throw up, you run to the toilets and then you come back, but if you have diarrhoea, you're guaranteed to be stuck in the toilets for half an hour and probably fail your exam.

The thought really scares me! I know it's unlikely but if it DID happen for some reason, what should you do??

your school/college will fill in a sickness form i guess. ANd then i think the awarding bodies will look at your previous grades and stuff...not 100% sure.

That seems very unlikely to happen. How often does that normally happen to you? Just don't eat any dodgy foods around exam time.

The question makes me wonder: are you all allowed to take toilet breaks, or is it just a spazz privilege i get (since l have 100% ET)?

I was very ill with sickness and diarrhoea on the day I had my English and Geography AS levels and I just had to have imodium instants handy and sit near the back- my grades suffered though....... :frown:
