Today, three days before I take my bar exam, the biggest exam of my life, I got my monthly. And I get to bring my belongings in a clear plastic bag so the world knows. FML

Today, it's the last day of finals week. Unfortunately the only test I've passed this week is the pregnancy test I took during my lunch break in a Subway bathroom. FML
Today, I found out that on Wednesday, when I have 2 exams, I'm called to testify in court. If I go to court, I cannot make the exams. If I take the exams, I'll be held in contempt and arrested. FML
Today, I can't attend an interview for a great job because I have an exam. An exam I need to pass in order to have a great job like the one I'm missing the interview for. FML
Today, after 3 years of unemployment and 6 months of hard studying, I found out I hadn't actually registered myself for the public service exam that will happen later this month and could finally get me a job. FML
Today, I took an exam, for which I have been studying for weeks, I was confident at first, but then really struggled with it. I finished with about ten minutes to spare, turned to what I thought would be the end of my paper and found the first page of questions I was supposed to have answered. FML
Today, I took an exam in order to apply for a graduate program I want to get into. Last night, my boyfriend decided it was a good time to break up with me out of the blue. I broke down three times in the middle of the test, and I just barely failed it. FML
Today, I finished a 700-page book for my law exam. It was the wrong book. FML
Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML
Today, I took a major test, worth half my grade, not realizing that there were questions on the back of the sheet. FML
Today, I had to take an oral examination. I made it to the last part of the exam, then violently threw up in the middle of my answer. FML

It happens. Don't let it distract you from doing well on the BAR.

It's still embarrassing. I'm sure you wouldn't want someone to know you were on your period. Although it isn't new, it's still a personal matter.

The bar was given last month. And most states only allow a gallon size ziplock to hold pens, pencils, and personal items. No paper, no phones, no secret tampon case. Testing conditions are pretty strict.

You must empty your pockets before entering the exam area. All items must be approved and in a clear plastic bag.

OP - I am in law school and had this same fear. I finally gave in and bought a diva cup for this specific reason (law school finals & upcoming bar). BUY IT ASAP. Will save you time and possible embarrassment. And to those who said people taking the bar shouldn't be that immature -- they are. They're human. And to the comments about changing your tampon as soon as you're done? Some of us don't have the luxury to go that long between, even with highest absorbency. Personally, I would have to excuse myself a minimum of twice during the exam just to prevent mortifying myself. You have my sympathies OP

You can put both a pad and a tampon, so that when you go and remove the tampon, you don't have to put something new. I used to do that when babysitting, it takes much less time, too. ;)
