Order/Test Day Questions/Tips?!

[wizkidz]

Couple of quick questions for those who have taken the exam: Is the order of sections always the same/how its like on BC?

Is the mark feature also similar to the one on BC?

Lastly-any tips for actual test day?!

Thank You!

Order of sections is always the same (as it is on BC), yes. There is also a mark feature.

Get plenty of rest, stay focused, and be calm.

It's only a 15 minute break after the Natural Science sections. There are no other breaks during the test, you may be thinking of the 15 minute optional tutorial before the test of the 15 minute optional post-test survey.

hmm, strange. I got a call from the prometric center which told me I would have a 30 minute "lunch break" in between 2 sections of the exam. Wonder if anyone else has had this...

You are correct, it is now 30 minutes, not 15.

Looks like they've updated it from a few months ago - you guys are lucky.
