During the break...

Are we able to go back on early and write down math equations before starting RC? Or are you forced to start the test again immediately after you sit? Thanks!

I'm not quite sure. I just know during the break you can do whatever you want (check your cellphone, bathroom, look at cheat sheets). I felt a little guilty doing charts for pat during the tutorial, and I thought about doing it too but I did not want to jeopardize being caught for doing something unethical.

After finishing PAT, you get a 30 minute break (it used to be 15 but was recently changed). A timer pops up on your computer and starts counting down. You can choose to skip the break, or you can leave and do whatever you want (cell phone, view notes, eat, etc.). It is up to you to return to your computer in time because the test will start without you.

At my testing center they told me that I was not allowed to write down anything on the sheets during the tutorial/break times (no hole punching charts, no math equations, nothing!). But from what I've read on here, some testing centers don't care if you do. If you get lucky, then yes you can return from your break early to write things down.

It depends on the testing centers. I would suggest you call the test center where you will be taking the test or do a test drive and ask your questions specifically. I did my test drive a week before my test and it was worth it. I asked them if it was okay to write things down on the sheets they provided, and it was okay.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

The QR section gives you some math formulas, I'm not sure which ones because I didn't know they were there, but the post-exam survey asked me if I thought they were helpful and I was like "......"
