Hi everyone,
I am looking to do my GMAT exam soon in Australia. I have ADHD and have a legal prescription for ritalin, and will require several doses throughout the exam to operate at my usual level of performance (for work I take doses every couple of hours). Realistically I will need to take my doses just before walking into the exam for the AWA, and during each 8 minute break.
I would like to understand whether or not I am allowed to take my medication during breaks, at my locker. As a side note I'm not interested in applying for any special conditions such as extra time, but it is critical for my performance that I take my medication. I could easily secure a note from my psychiatrist if required, I'm just keen to understand whether this will be required. I have read conflicting information as to whether you are allowed to take medication, including some sources stating that if you are caught taking any form of medication, even painkillers, its ground for GMAC to revoke your score.
Is anybody aware of how strict they are with you taking medication throughout the breaks, and what if anything I would need to do to be able to take my meds throughout the exam?
Thanks.
