People sit exams during ramadan, I don't know how
- jacooper 3y agoYou get used to it
- kioleanu 3y agoIn Germany, Muslim students had their exams excused this week, when everyone else wrote them. They can take them next week
- conradfr 3y agoTerrible idea and precedent IMHO.
- IndigoIncognito 3y agoWhy?
- IndigoIncognito 3y agoI wonder why, Muslims only make up 5% of Germany's population, fiscally this wouldn't make much sense given that they would have to make a second exam paper & provide more labour
- tstrimple 3y agoFor some people, not everything is reduced to being as cost effective as possible.
- IndigoIncognito 3y agoCome to think of it, it was quite nice how they accommodated Muslims; however, they could have just postponed the exams.
- lanstin 3y agothe German's regain some reputation for hospitality.

- elashri 3y agoI had 12 years of pre-college education, 4 for university, 2 for Masters and 2 years of classes in my PhD ( I am candidate now) and I think I had exams while I was fasting in each year and it wasn't a big deal. I rarely even see a Muslim student break fast for exams. And I think people saying they request accommodation this week, that's usually because of Eid and the couple of nights before that we believe it is the night that quran was revealed to the prophet Mohamed, so people want to pray more at night (it is a probability not specific night from 21,23,25,27 and 29 of Ramadan)
- permalac 3y agoHow does your focus evolve or progress while fasting? Any relevant difference between the first days and the last days?
- Aerbil313 3y agoSimply, when you eat 3 meals a day, your body and mind is way less performant than what it could be in a good portion the day. So having all daytime fully productive helps. I personally don’t feel any desire to eat or drink after 1st day.
- hqudsi 3y agoPeople play professional sports while fasting during Ramadan. I have no idea how they do it but having access to nutritionists probably helps.
