JOTCH Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 For those who have taken the Computer based...

Jochi1543 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 10 minutes. Some of it is eaten up by the checkout/check in process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOTCH Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Wow, such a short break? I was expecting much longer than that... Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Rumour has it that the test does not automatically start after the 10 minutes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 ^^That is true. However, after you are back in the room after 10 minutes and just sitting there...you feel a little silly and just move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a41 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 What's the policy on drinks/food during breaks? Can you read notes that you bring outside of the testing room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webshy Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I wasn't allowed anything at the computer. However, I had brought a water bottle and a few snacks, which I left in my large ziploc bag at the front of the room. I was able to take these items with me on my breaks.

Kuantum Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Drinks? I can't imagine the horror of having to go to the bathroom in the middle of a VR passage No thanks! No drinks for me That actually happened to a friend of mine in Aug. 06...he had to get up from the exam room because he just couldn't hold it anymore. He said he was freaking out when it happened and it was the fast he'd ever used the bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
