That seems like quite the elaborate way to cheat. Find yourself a husband (or willing partner), get knocked up, make sure the due date is scheduled so baby will be feeding when you take the test, to the whole labor thing and pay for all the baby stuff so you can have some bullet points written on the kid's ass?

Prolly would've been easier (and cheaper) to just study.

On the other hand, not everyone who cheats hasn't studied -- they're just looking to leverage more sources of help. Unless it's a really big baby, you can't fit a law degree in its nappies.

That's why I said bullet points! No seriously, there has got to be an easier way to cheat than popping a living human out of your body. There just has to.

But what if you were having the baby anyway? Improvise, man. Cheat with the tools at hand.

Yes, yes. Sesame and egg white and sugar, I think, from the taste of it. I've never put it on toast, but it's a very nice thing. You can get it plain, or with almonds or pistachios in it, or with sultanas, or even chocolate flavoured. It's nummy.

Do you know what it's called? Any sort of brand name? If we have a name, we're hoping the internets will work its magic

One possible option. It may be a little convoluted, but it may be tweakable into something workable. I assume both Stephanie and her mother have cell phones.

When Stephanie goes in to take the exam, she leaves her cell phone with a proctor (or some other mutually agreed-upon person). When baby needs feeding, mother calls Stephanie's cell phone. Proctor gets Stephanie and accompanies her to meet mother at mutually agreed-on place. Baby is handed over, no words exchanged between Stephanie and mother. Stephanie takes baby to private location for feeding.

When baby has finished feeding, reverse the process to return baby to mother.

As to the extra time issue, obviously things have changed since my day. I can't think of any sound reason to grant extra time for ADD and not for breastfeeding.

Fred, that's a good idea and I'm going to keep it in mind as this thing progresses.

ION, I was going to take DH's car in today for recall work. However, the problem that triggered the recall, which makes the car immovable, just happened, so the dealer is going to come get the car. How nice to have somethng work for me for a change. Now we will just see if they can get it out of the garage.

I forgot. I left the bathroom door open when I started the shower. attack of the killer cat. claws and teeth around my ankle.

Yeah, what ita said. I agree that nobody's going to plot to have a baby just so they can cheat on their bar exam, but if you have the baby anyhow ... there are people who could justify writing notes on the baby's back as making up for the study time they lost having the kid, or something, and it's really not the proctor's job to check every crevice of an infant and the diaper bag for cheat sheets.

I agree Stephanie should get extra time to pump, though. That's a physical need.

Many years ago, I was freaking about an exam and very carefully wrote notes in very faint pencil all over my coffee cup.

As it turned out, the process of transcribing the notes actually made me remember the material to the point that I never even glanced at it.
