Prometric policy--Can you void your COMLEX?

[koikisi]

I was just wondering if anyone knows anything about this at all? I took COMLEX 2 last year and had such a massive episode of morning sickness during the exam. I still took the exam, but I had to run to the bathroom repeatedly. I finished it and had about 60 point drop in my score from Level 1. I honestly hadn't known about a voiding policy at that time and the prometric attendant was so mean, he wouldn't even let me use the restroom even when I had completed a section.

I am going to take Level 3 soon and I wanted to be sure that I know what my options would be in case that happens again. I am going to have my zantac handy this time.

It seems you can withdraw, if something adverse happens, so I think I could have done that last year. But I wonder what would go on your transcript...withdraw?

I'm assuming you are in residency now...you have to take the exam to pass and fulfill one of the requirements of the residency program...just have medicine ready in case you get sick because you will have to take it eventually...if an emergency occurs, I don't think it will matter if a void or w appears as you are almost done with training.

Yes, just starting. Boy does the weather suck here. I think I have to talk to my doctor about some sort of IBS meds. thanks

Hmm never heard of it before. I'm getting super bad bouts of IBS right about now. Literally trying to study on the toilet while my bowels are trying to explode lol

I think I may just not eat anything the day before the exam. A part of me thinks I have SIBO but I've never had a small bowel endoscopy just colonoscopy

Pretty frustrating
