A friend of mine wrote the MCAT last august and he had a bout with diarrhea during the test and voided his test and he is now writing the test with me this Saturday. We are both going to take two tablets of loperamide the night before and keep some on us during the test. Good luck!

hah...man thats a shame...ive never taken this kind of medication...what does it do if you dont actually have diarrhea? im just gonna bring a bottle of peptol bismol and tylenol, extra contacts and/or contacts....take it if necessary...

 

[jackfibi]

did you know that loperamide is a morphine derivative. crazy huh? There are opiod receptors along the GI tract, CNS, and respiratory tract - each one different but all bind to opiods - and that is why people who take a lot of pain medication have constipation. Loperamide is a drug designed to only bind to and inhibit the opiod receptors in the GI tract and not the respiratory system for obvious reasons or the CNS. Pharmacologists are just amazing, how do they do it?

 

[totalcommand]

would this give constipation during the test?

i might want to keep the ability to take a crap during breakas...

 

[NapeSpikes]

I'm going to take ex-lax several times the Friday morning before the exam to make sure my system is TOTALLY empty come Saturday. Diarrhea- and constipation-proof! Unstoppable!

 

[Pontifex Maximus]

This is SUCH a good idea!

 

[Mister Pie]

I'm torn. I'd like to try it, but I'm also paranoid of suffering from extremely adverse effects.

This just sounds terribly wrong... But looks like an interesting case study!

lol. taking a dump during my break might relax me.

I carry the pink chewable generic antidiarrhea meds and if i hear any grumbling I take 4 of them and it is no longer an issue. i don't think it's a good idea to take any drugs before or during the exam unless you have to or you are used to taking them. that includes caffeine.

don't eat/drink anything unusual, don't drink from containers that have been sitting around (clean your water bottles), wash your hands before eating, and try to bring your own lunch.

Just watch what you eat the day before the test, or even two days before the test. Don't fill yourself up with spicy bean soup or anything like that and make sure you take a crap the morning of, even if you have to sit on the toilet for 40 minutes.

What's worse, diarrhea or loud unexpelled gas?

Sometimes the latter is a sign of the former building, but what to do?

When your butt gets the grumbles, can you remained focus as those around you begin to hate your noisy guts?

What if you don't want to void your test, the months you've been studying are actually worth something to you - the only option is the expel.

This raises many questions...

Can you your test voided by the proctors if you let it out? I mean, can they FORCE you to leave if you are farting up the room? What if they are all SBD's? It then becomes your word against your fellow test-takers - will that hold up in court if you need to sue?

So many questions, such a little digestive tract....

sometimes it carries over more than a day; i wouldn't do it...but i'm assuming it was a joke

i say let that gas rip... maybe you'll be lucky and kill off all the really smart people at your testing center 🙄 every and any edge counts in this game! 😛 but if you happen to be taking the test in wellesley mass, disregard this suggestion.

don't take too long in the bathroom. EVERYONE wants to use it during break time and you only get 10 minutes

now the real gunner would go into the bathroom the morning of the exam, lock all the doors but one and crawl out; then he'd be the first one in the bathroom at breaktime and take so long so no one else can use it....that would force everyone else to either suffer during the exam or have to take time out during the test to go 😡

Yes, but people would reason to look under the door to see if someone is in there.

What a real gunner needs to do, is scope out how many stalls there are before the exam and bring the appropriate number of pairs of shoes with pants. This, of course, would be much more difficult if the spacing under the door is any more than 6"-8" as not seeing legs would become an issue. This way, when someone looked, it would appear that someone really is on the pot and they would either have to pee into the sinks or find a bush outside, both of which would be tremendously time consuming because most people would request that everyone leave the bathroom so that can "use the sink."

This is fun...

You know what? I was thinking the same thing. Let 'er rip, I say. You're not gonna get distracted by your own smell but the other people in the room will, which will help you out!

It's okay for us to talk about poo cause we're going to be doctors.

 

[sans005]

OMG! you guys are soooo funny!!! I am cracking up...falling down my chair. 😀

yea, on a serious note..i don't think anyone shd take any drugs before the exam...i dont know...i dont think i will.

haha and you're right about the shoes and pants. anyone who thinks this all out and would actually do it...is sick

how different is a sink from a urinal for a guy? and oh this reminds me of my SATs
