Break between Science and PAT??

I know there is a 15 minute break after the PAT. But, is there any sort of 1 minute break between Nat Sci and PAT?

Or, when the time is up for Nat. Sciences does the timer immediately begin counting down time for the PAT?

not really. you get maybe a 30 seconds or so.

If you allow the timer to run out. It'll say the time has expired for this section.

you get a little pop up. I had to click "ok" for me mine multiple times for it to register. After which then it starts PAT.

it'll then go to the next section. Same deal after the 15 minute break timer and between rc and qr.

I don't remember if the timer runs when its telling you its now PAT time or not. as I just click next until I go to the 1st question and wasn't paying attention.

There is no break at all but like the above poster said when the "this test is over window came up" I pressed okay and it took like 1-2 seconds for the PAT to start (the screen was blank for a second), then as soon as the PAT test shows up the timer starts running. So as soon as your science test ends be ready to start immediately

Ok, thanks! So when you set up your PAT grids (for hole punching and cube counting) do you did you put it on one side of the white board and just make sure not to use that side during science, so it is ready to go when you start the PAT?

they gave me 2 sheets. I used 1 side of 2nd sheet to make my grids.

the other sheet I wrote formulas and used backside for science.

but ended up hardly using it at all. there was very little calculations. it was mostly set up the problem.

any calculation I had to do was really simple and I could have done it my head but I wrote it out to be absolutely sure. hate to miss easy points.

they give you 2 front and back laminated sheets so you can use one of them to make grids during the tutorial in the very beginning if you dont want to lose any time

if you do enough practice tests, you should be able to finish the science section early. I finished with 11 minutes to spare and took a pee break. When I came back with 4 minutes to spare, I quickly went over for the 3rd time some questions I wasn't sure of. Practice science questions and you should have time to spare after that section for a break.
