Peeing During Exam

The examiners are their for you. If you need a pen. Ask them. If you need a drink.Ask them. If you need to go to the toilet. Ask them. They will escort you out. If you need the toilet, just go as it can cause issues if you don’t go.

Well i dont go even if we have a 3 hour paper. Going 3 times is not normal and the examiner might doubt you , that you are cheating. And this way you will also waste a lot of time. Their needs to be a medical condition

It’s their choice to waste their time

I wouldn't have thought so unless you have a medical condition. :/

How many times is it acceptable to pee during a 2.5 hour exam? Not drinking water causes headaches which I want to avoid. But at the same time, I don't want to spend too much time (and I also don't want to annoy the examiner). Is going 3 times acceptable?

If you are worried about this, you need to speak to the teachers/invigilators beforehand.

They will probably have some guidelines to refer to.

I tend to get very hungry if I have exams near lunch time. If I don't eat I could sometimes feel faint (once I actually fainted on a bus in a city centre, because I had skipped lunch. The entire bus had to be evacuated!) When I was sitting a final degree exam, the hunger pangs came upon me. My bag, with a snickers bar in it, was outside the exam room, and we weren't allowed food in the exam room . I asked the invigilator if I could nip outside to my bag, but was refused. They offered me a polo mint, but this wasn't enough. Therefore I had to leave the exam room to get my bar, and I couldn't go back in. At least it was the easiest paper and I had finished it. But I probably missed out on a bit of checking time.

In my school, you are allowed to leave the room for a break and you have to be monitored by a member of staff. In my English Literature exam I took 3 breaks and the time is given back to you at the end.

Some schools have different rules

I don't have a medical condition. But it's just that I do get headaches if I don't drink enough water (considering that it's over 30 degree Celsius over here). Anyways I will try to cut down water a little bit.

This might sound obvious btw, but it's probably a good idea to drink and eat enough that you don't pass out or get a headache...but not so much that you desperately need the bathroom more than once an hour (not normal) If you're really worried you're going to need more than one bathroom break I suspect your best speaking to staff beforehand, but expect to have to justify it.

Just my opinion, but I strongly believe these exams are a test of maturity and sense as well as academics, Can you turn up on time, prepared, not break the rules and ideally neither arrive with a dehydration migraine or about to violently wet or crap yourself (it happens quite a lot, you'd be amazed how many teenagers think energy drinks are sensible exam prep)

Is that an inbetweeners reference?

Definitely don't go the energy drink route.

and its my duty to give them a suggestion

If I drank an energy drink it would make me want to burp, which would be a major distraction all round! But the salt 🧂 solution sounds good. Why don’t you put this theory to the test, on a non exam day?
