I suffer from sciatica due to a disc bulge (known as a slipped disc commonly). It's not good for me to sit for long periods as it triggers off my sciatica and consequently, even when I do practice exams or study at home, I mostly do it standing.
I've heard about the horror stories of people who tried to register as a test taker with disabilities and the onerous amount of paperwork involved, so I haven't registered as one. I will be taking a back support cushion with myself (which afaik, is allowed).
My primary question is would the test takers have any issues me with doing the test standing up, specifically the verbal section as I'm more comfortable with it? Also, in the same vein, is there anything against frequent stretching up/frequent standing to stretch?
Would appreciate if someone has any info on the same.
Thanks!

Hi GhostA,
My initial impression is that if you were standing throughout the Exam (or even part of it), then THAT might serve as a distraction to the other Test Takers. Most Testing Facilities include a "private room" for special circumstances though, so you might be able to arrange for that room. You might want to contact the Testing facility and ask all of you questions directly. I'm sure that there's some protocol for this type of situation, so you just need to know what the 'steps' are and plan accordingly.

Prometrics uses dividers between the computer test terminals and I don't think they will allow you to stand in the main testing room. I would recommend you to contact them and ask for access to the private room. I see no reason why you couldn't stand in that room, although it would be preferable if they could set up a high table to place the computer monitor at your eye level. Yes, they are a pain when it comes to accommodations but that is mostly for students requesting extended time, this seems like a reasonable request to me.
