Do we take the entire test as whole? Do we get breaks in between particular sections? Are we force to stop a particular section and go on to the next? At the end, are we allowed to go over the entire test as whole if time permits? Thanks for any help.

Each section is timed separately. You cannot switch back and forth between sections, nor can you go back to a completed section (or skip ahead to a new section).

😎Totally Random Words of Advice:😎 Time goes by so FAST!!!....practice you timing. For the Qant section, finishing on time is 'almost' impossible. When you get to that section, spot check the easy ones(those you think you can do in less than a minute) and do them first.!!! Then come back and attempt those that seem harder. If you run out of time....GUESS on the rest. [this technique works people] 👍

Yes, every section has a 30 minute time limit except for the quant, which is allotted 45 minutes. 30 minutes to write a good essay is ridiculous, in my opinion, which is why I think most people don't get higher than 3 on that...
