The 10-minute break
There is one break, between the Reading and Writing section and the Math section. It is ten minutes, exactly as on the real test.
How the timer worksLink to the section: How the timer works
The break has its own expiry, held on our server. It starts when the Reading and Writing section closes and it runs whether or not the page is open.
When it expires, Math module 1 opens. It does not wait for you.
What to do with itLink to the section: What to do with it
Stand up. Drink something. Do not look at your Reading and Writing answers — the section is closed and you cannot change anything, so the only thing reviewing it can do is affect how you feel going into Math.
You cannot go backLink to the section: You cannot go back
Once Math opens, Reading and Writing stays closed. This is how the real test works, and a mock that let you return would be teaching a strategy that fails on the day.
