What is LSAC policy on bringing headache medication and having it with you during the test with a small bottle of water in case you get a headache?
Thank you

Either just take it before you check-in as a preventative measure or put two pills in your pocket to take during the break.

Dirigo,
just 2 pills? What if somebody sees I am taking a pill and I don't have a pill container, how can I prove what exactly I am taking?
Thank you

Go to a stall during the break, I'm not sure who would see you.
The whole ordeal sounds sketchy to me.

Don't be paranoid. It's not like you're shooting up heroin.
If you don't need the pills, then don't take the pills. Or take them before the test.
I know many LSAT takers swallow caffeine pills on the break.
It's not prohibited, but it's not specifically allowed either. Grey area.

crush the pills up into a powder and dip your erasers in it. there's no rule against putting erasers up your nose.

Or crush them up and dissolve them in your water bottle. Then chug during your break. If anyone looks at you funny, meow at them and lick your hand.

I was thinking more of during the test before the break. If you have a headache, are you allowed to take an Ibuprofen pill and swallow it. But now with some of the suggestions, I understand why it is not a good idea.
Thank you
