Red face Lockers & breaks while testing

Are there lockers in the testing center? Because I heard that you can bring a drink and snack with you. So do you have to bring money for a locker or what?

Also... what is the break rule? How many breaks can you take? How long can they be? What if you get nervous and have to pee a lot?


Ahhhh I test tomorrow and Im' so nervousssss!!

Haha ... if anyone wants a laugh.. I am currently on crutches because I had a bunion removed right after I graduated from school (2 wks left!). So I just wanted to make sure I would be able to go and test on crutches. I called the testing center yesterday to ask. They obviously said yes. But I was fully prepared to say **** the crutches and just walk on in there if they wouldn't let me test with crutches. hehe

yes to lockers. no to cost. you can fit a decent sized backpack in there which is good b/c you cannot take anything inside w/ you.

you can take as many breaks as you want. I'm so upset b/c I was planning on staying til 265 qustions for all of 6 hours and the computer shut off at 76 and I was there only an hour. Never made it to the point where the computer has a page that opens one or two hours into it asking if you want a break.

Regardless, the clock continues to tick.

Good luck.
