Honestly, I'm already nervous enough about it, I just want things to go as smoothly as possible that day.

I've had profs for months telling us how if they catch us with anything as any time they'll cancel our scores. It's just not worth risking.
This may not help your cause... but every test I've taken with strict rules, I do the bending. (Michigan Test for Teacher Certification for example) I take Levemir for the day and eat before I walk in. I aim to stay around 150 or so, if I go higher I'll correct it when I'm out. I think it's just easier than dealing with the hassle of what you are going through. The last one I took, I only needed about 70 minutes. Hooked my pump back up the second I got in the car, 0% basal for 20 hours, and I could still bolus.

If your concerned about going low, put clear Gatorade in a water bottle. (Unless they'll let you take in Gatorade or something other than water.)

It's irritating that they keep changing things on you though! Best of luck with them and on the test! My sister will be taking it sometime next year and she has a pump too. I'm sure your post will be a concern of hers as well.
