Hey guys,
Does anyone have opinions/tips on how to schedule breaks during the actual exam?
Thanks!

is the tutorial the same thing seen during the nbme practice tests?
If you just do the tutorial long enough to do the audio test will you get the balance of time remaining credited to your break time?
The way I understood it was that you get 1 hour outside of your 7 hour-long blocks. So, if u use 15 min for the tutorial, then there's 45 minutes for breaks/lunch throughout the day. Only use 5-10, then you'll get 50-55minutes of break.
I haven't taken the real thing, but that is the assumption that I have going into it on Thurs.
Probably a dumb question, but can someone post a quick rundown of how breaks work?
Hi I found the website where you download the free 150 questions, but can't seem to find how to view the actual tutorial. I wanted the full hour of break time.
anyone have the exact link on how to view the tutorial? Also, if you view the tutiorial BEFORE exam day, do you just exit the tutorial screen on the REAL step 1? How does that work.
much thanks

You can take a break in between blocks, but not during one. When you've completed a block, the screen will display a message asking you if you want to take a break or continue with the test.
I only spent 3 min on the tutorial, but did it just to make sure everything was working properly. I took breaks once every 2 blocks at the beginning but then once every block after block 4. This was a good strategy for me because I was fresh in the morning but then towards the end, I was tired and needed to walk around and stretch.
... so let me get this straight... say you finish a block with 15 minutes to spare. when the screen comes up asking if you want to break or continue with the test, and you click "break" then you get an additional 15 minutes added to your break time before you start using your actual allotted break time?
