Hi,At my university we have a "special needs" kind of office with professionals who can help assess your needs - the students/clients there range from blind students to dyslexic to people who've had brain surgery to people with anxiety issues... you name it. During exam time, many of these people write in private or semi-private rooms. Actually many of them write all their tests that way. The university provides all of this "free" (meaning it comes with ordinary tuition). You should look into whether your school has a similar service. It would save you a lot of pain and help with your academic career...Good luck!Carrie

By the way, I thought I might share one of my little stories with you...I left my very first university exam to go to the toliet and I had really loud gas. After I came back into the classroom, my prof said, "Okay, you can't just leave and go to the washroom in an exam, you have to let me know you're going" and the class broke up laughing. Then another girl went out to the washroom and I realized then that you could hear everything from there in our exam room which was next door. I guess that's why they were laughing.A little school horror story for you. Moral of the story? Maybe to go to the washroom on the next floor down if that ever happens to you or better yet, get priveldges to write in a private room...I can laugh about it now but I'm still pretty embarrassed...Carrie
