Hey guys,

I know that most people grab a quick snack and some water during the break but I'll be fasting. Any suggestions for what I should do during the break?

I just ate a Hershey's bar (no nuts 😛), peed, and splashed some water on my face. I got back with 8 minutes left and just began the Reading section rather than wait.

Just relieve yourself and get something in your stomach.

drink some water and look at geometric volume and surface area formulas that you do not have memorized (sphere, cone, cylinder, etc) and write them down when you get back from break

What? We were told NOT to access any study materials during the break (including notes we brought with us)...Meaning we couldn't "look at geometric volumes" etc....

Take a dump lol.

since you can't eat . . . go into the bathroom, make sure no one's there, and scream until you're all pumped up.

I plan to do some push-ups so I can impress the Prometric ladies.

You need some energy; eat something. I think God will make an exception for you; he did for me.

Definitely use the restroom, obviously. Other than that, I'd just take some time to gather your thoughts, review your formulas in your head (and possibly write them down if you think you'll forget them in a moment of panic), and give yourself a pep talk.

And obviously make sure you get plenty to eat and especially to drink before sunrise.

If you can, I would pack a bottle of water and a light snack just in case. Obviously breaking your fast is a last resort, but if you start to feel really lightheaded or dizzy or something like that, I think it's good to have the option there, even if you have no intention of using it.

Eat a good healthy meal and drink water before you start your fast.
During the 15 mins, just sit outside the test room and relax 🙂

I do not in anyway promote the access of study materials but the prometric center will likely let you go outside the building to your car during your break. If you happen to recall your geometric volumes well by association when you enter your car then great. If this does not help you then you can just hang out.

You can always chuck a few notes in your socks or tightie whities and pull them out in the bathroom.

Look for some strange. Do your business, and hopefully the timer hasn't started when you return. If you have to take a dump just do it in your pants, it isn't worth wasting precious time.

Seriously though, eat something light if you can and drink some gatorade. That's what I did.

Pray... use the testing break to squeeze in a nafl or make du'a. Not to mention its the best time since its ramadan. Knowing that there are much more important things in life puts the test in perspective and relaxes me at least.

I'd probably do some light exercise and stretching to to get the blood flowing too though.
