Hi all,

I work best when I have scratch paper to write down my calculations - are we allowed to use any during the exam or is it SOLELY on the computer?

Also, do they give you any breaks during the testing period to go to the bathroom or anything?  4 hours is a long time...

Thanks!

The testing center provides you with paper booklet (about 4/6 pages) and 2 pencils that you have to turn in at the end of your test. If you need more paper, you bring them your paper and they giev you another set of papers.

After each testlet - you are given the option of taking a break and oly then are you allowed to get up.

I strongly encourage you to practice siting for 6 - 8 hour durations with out getting up. Then the 4 hours will seem like a walk in the park and you won't waste time. BTW - they have never said anything to me when I stand to take my test - I stay in my cubical area but I stretch my back and bend my knees for about 15 - 30 secs and then sit back down - the whole time staring at the computer screen and answering the questions.

Thanks!  I was so nervous about not being able to write down my calculations.
I feel better.  Whew.
