Food/drinks

[zunik]

Quick question

 

what food/drinks are allowed ? Can I drink water during the exam?

Are the 10 minute breaks located outside the computer lab?

 

Thanks

It all depends on the test centre and how it is set up

 

You cannot eat or drink during the exam. But generally during the breaks you can step outside of the computer room and have a washroom break too if necessary, eat or drink, etc...But no MCAT materials allowed

I had a small locker to put personal stuff/lunch in but no food or drink during the exam. Bring what you like and eat it in between sections.

I remember eating some small snacks and having a drink of water during my break. I think our bags were left somewhere outside the actual testing rooms, don't remember sure how secure it was.

From my experience and the experience of other's i know, different test centres are very different.

 

Some of them have you keep your possessions just outside the computer room, others have lockers for you to put your stuff in.

 

But do bring snacks, water/drinks, and anything else you may need to avoid being hungry/thirsty
