So just finished the exam today...and now that I have nothing else to worry about, I thought I'd freak out about something else. When you run out of time on a block, and it automatically displays the "you're moving onto the next block" icon...and the only thing you can click it next, well, that does register your answers, right?! You don't lose your answers by failing to click the end block button, correct?

Just got temporarily freaked out, since I finished each block, but seldom had enough time to actually do an "end block" on my own 🙂 Thanks in advance,

Turk.
 
Don't worry about it.

hope not, or I've got another appointment with the beast.

I know the feeling. I haven't been able to resume a normal life. Hopefully tomorrow 🙂

My computer lost power during the third block of my test. I was able to restart right at the same point when the Prometric people fixed the computer, and based on my score, there is no way that all those answers were lost. So if one's answers can survive a computer meltdown, I think you have nothing to worry about. 🙂
