Tampons and pads shouldn’t be prohibited at bar exam: ABA:

Interesting. It seems strange to me that this was ever an issue - obviously examinees should be able to bring pads and tampons with them to an exam. Lol at the tampon comment, but I suppose at least theoretically an examinee could open a pad's plastic packaging, put some notes inside the package, and then reseal it.

When I was at university (in Australia), if you needed to go to the toilet during an exam, you had to be accompanied by one of the exam supervisors. Of course, the supervisor didn't come into the cubicle with you, but I'd imagine the supervisor would be knocking on the door if they thought you were taking any longer than was absolutely necessary. I studied law at university, and cheating by using cheat notes would have been difficult. Law subjects cover a wide area of knowledge, and there was no way of knowing what would be on the exam. I don't actually know what students who had their period did, but university exams couldn't be any more than three hours long, so I'm guessing you'd change immediately before the exam, and put a pad or tampon in your pocket, in case it was needed.
