Primary answer
You are allowed exactly one optional 10-minute break, which can be taken after the first section or after the second section. If you take longer than 10 minutes, the extra time will be deducted from your next testing section. During the break, you may leave the room to access your locker for food, water, or medication, but you are strictly forbidden from accessing your mobile phone, study notes, or speaking to anyone other than test center staff. Violating these rules results in an immediate 'Policy Violation' on your permanent record.
