What's the deal with COMATs?

[butidontwantto]

Been looking online for info on COMAT format and can only find that it's 125 questions in 2.5 hours. Are the questions split up into sections? Is there a place somewhere in the middle where you can use the bathroom if you need to? Do you get a score report that breaks down how you did in certain categories like the level 1 score report?

No breaks, they suck. Don't remember if you get a breakdown

Answer to all of these is no.

I think you so get a score report but it’s basically useless due to the small sample size and overlapping confidence intervals.

You can take a bathroom break but you can’t pause the exam during that time. I usually have ample time during exams but even I struggled during my recent COMAT, so no breaks for me.

Comats are even more baffling than comlex. Walk out shaking your head and drop a 130. Walk out feeling decent and hit 117. The scoring is weird and questionable.
