I have a question. During each of the session (200 questions) of the exam, can you take bathroom break? I suppose if you can, it counts against you b/c the timer still running. However, how can anyone hold for 3.5 hours? I have a habit of frequent urination and this worries me.

thanks.

Best to call prometric and ask....call the specific center u attending

You ABSOLUTELY can take bathroom breaks. It does, however, keep your clock ticking, but 3 1/2 hours is WAY more time that you will actually need unless you are a very slow test taker. I consider myself to be a moderate paced test taker and I finished with an hour to spare in both sections... and that's with taking like 2-3 mini breaks in each section. If you start to feel overwhelmed or having trouble focusing, give yourself 5 minutes to walk around, get a drink of water, and clear your head for a second. Trust me I think it makes all the difference.
