Authorized breaks are allowed during the exam between testing blocks. This includes any time you spend between these blocks, whether you're staying in your seat or have left the room. If you complete the tutorial or testing blocks early, any remaining minutes will be added to your total break time. If you go over the allotted or accumulated break time, the extra time will be subtracted from your overall testing time. Unauthorized breaks are when you take a break during a testing block, requiring the proctor to file an incident report to share with the ICVA. Please keep in mind the clock does not stop during unauthorized breaks and test time is lost. Additionally, it could be investigated as a potential exam security violation.
