Breaks in Online-Proctored Testing

When taking this test in an online-proctored appointment, examinees will receive a 15-minute break after the Subarea I–II MCQs and before the Subarea III–V MCQs. Note that after this break you will begin the MCQs for Subareas III–V, and you will no longer have access to the MCQs for Subareas I–II.
