Hi, i'm new here, plan to take cs in august.

i'm wondering the pace in the exam day. like when does the exam start, are there flexible breaktime like ck of step 1? or they offer breaktime after certain number of cases??

if anybody who took the exam before and still remember these detail. please answer me.... thanks a lot!

the break time is not flexible cos there are only a limited number of SPs and everyone has to go thru that. Anyway..., the exam if I remember correctly started at 9 a.m there was a 30 min break time for lunch ( which they provide, you are not allowed to go out, but you can get your lunch from home or from anywhere else before the exam starts, if you like to ) after 5 encounters, then a 15 min tea break after 4 encounters and then go home after 3 more encounters , so 12 cases, 2 breaks. But you get in the center at 8 a.m.

0830 - 9:30 arrival, credential verification, instruction video and directions about the exam, restrooms.
0930 - 12:00 first 5 cases
1200 - 1230 breaktime to eat
1230 - 1410 second 4 cases
1410 - 1425 breaktime
1425 - 1540 third 3 cases
end
good luck

the worse of this exam is the first hour before the exam itself !
