usmle exam

yeah , but I dont think you should. the test is long, those 10 mins let you relax and ready yourself for the next block. In the end it is your choice.

when i went for my exam...they were specified instructions given to me before stepping in to the examination room.i dont remember mentioning of not to read in the breaks...but my personal advice is....to relax....and use the break to replenish ur glucose levels.the calculations in the exam are very easy if u know to solve the problem..calculating wud not take much time.!!!
All the best..!

ok, mines isn't digital but I guess I will be open to the no watch, and if they let me keep it then it will just be a plus.....
