Guys , I need some help !
I am a chronic pain patient due to herniated disk and I am under pain killers every day TRAMACET ( Tramadol and acetaminophen ) but it cannot stop the pain when I sit for long period of time . Now , I am worried about severe back pain screwing my exam up , since I cannot sit still for more than one hour .
Any familiar or expert suggestions PLEASE ?
Thanks in advance !

Have you looked at if they can make some special accomodation for you- I have seen that theres is this section in FA for test takers with disablities-
I would seriously think about having a 'test day ' simulation before the real test with some Qbank for 8+1 hrs- This exam is tough on you because its difficult to concentrate for 9 hours
They might allow longer break time for you I guess if that would help- you might need to break after every block- Best of luck
