When to take breaks in between TEAS V sections?

[Vincent_]

Hey everyone,

Are there breaks in between each section of the TEAS V? how does that work during the real proctored exam? I took the two practice exams so far in the ati manual and I timed myself but I was not sure if there's a break needed between sections or not. I took about a 2 minute one between math and science. Any ideas and suggestions would be great. I'm aware the practice exams have less questions than the real exam and that the real one is longer.

Where I took my exam you were allowed to take quick bathroom breaks in between sections.

I just took the TEAS V yesterday (got a 92%!!!) and the proctor allowed us to go to the bathroom and have a clear bottle of water next to us during the exam.

I took a computer version of the exam so this might be different from the pen-and-paper test but anyway, after each section, you will have the option to click "Next" and it will tell you that that is the end of the portion that you're being tested on. It will then go to something like a "rest" page where you have the option of clicking on "Next" again to start the next portion of the test (and therefore start the timer again) or take a few minutes to clear your head/go to the restroom.

I also suggest getting another book with practice tests on it such as McGraw Hill's TEAS V practice tests... they have the complete set of questions on there and I felt like it really helped me prepare for the exam.

Hope that helps! Good luck!
