On 1st day we have MCQ's and second day MCQ's and CCS right?

How many blocks with how many questions? How long is the break time? Usually, how it is taken? Number of CCS cases and time for each case?

Help please.

hey, aspire!

1st day- MCQ only, 7 blocks total. each 48 questions, 45 min break total (1h if you skip the tutorial)

2nd day- 4 blocks of MCQ, 36 questions each, 9 cases - for every case you have a max of 25 min, they may end earlier than that. break time is a little less than the first day, but again if you skip the tutorial and cases end early it adds up to your break time. 2nd day goes by much faster.

good luck!

Thank you very much for the help. On 2nd day, how long is the block time for MCQ's?

How do they usually take breaks on 2nd day, like after how many CCS cases? I know it is variable, but can you please tell me what ppl commonly do? Once again thanks for the reply.

the time for MCQ blocksis shorter on day 2 because you have less questions per block, but the time per question remains the same. you do the math. On day 2 I took a break after the first 2 mcq blocks, then after the next 2 and that ended the MCQ section. next was ccs, it depends how much time you need for each one. I initially wanted to make a break after every 2 cases, but ended up doing 5 in a row , took a break and then the rest (4) in a row...because my cases were like 5-10 min each...it very much depends. When you feel you need to refresh your mind, then take a BREAK! there is no recipe on how and when.
