<p>Could the ones who have already taken SATs advise me on the break times allowed between different sections of actual SAT..</p>
<p>I tried to find this information on CB but am not able to locate it.. </p>
<p>Is it true that there is no break time ( for bio breaks ) in between the sections of the tests.. ? </p>
<p>Would appreciate inputs..</p>
<p>Thanks - RK1</p>
<p>no man there is break times or else every1 would get massive headaches except when i take it the idiots never want breaks and i end up getting a headache</p>
<p>This is waht I also feel. But I am currently having headache in not knowing what is the actual break time allowed and what is its frequency - do I get a break after every section or every two sections ? and how much is the duration.. </p>
<p>Thanks - RK1</p>
<p>every 3 sections usually
and it varies like usually 10 minutes or so but if you don't take breaks like i am always forced to do because i test with geeks then you will get major headches.. the geeks i have to do it with study all day for it</p>
<p>The old SAT had one break that was 5-10 min I think. The new one since it's longer might have one or two breaks. I'm pretty sure there is only one, though. it's mostly for the bathroom anyway.</p>
<p>Can someone who has actually taken a new SAT please respond with their experience..</p>
<p>I remember that there were at least two breaks. One was a minute and I know that the other was five minutes long. There might be another break but it escapes me. And I took the new SAT so i am speaking from experience.</p>
<p>There should be 2 breaks of 5-10 minutes each. At one point, the College Board said they'd give a break after every hour of testing, but I've never seen 3 breaks...</p>
<p>Break 1: 5 minutes - after section 2
Break 2: 1 minute (stretching, you can't get out of your seat) - after 2 more sections
Break 3: 5 minutes - after two more sections</p>
<p>Last 3 sections are 50 minutes total, which is the same as two 25 minutes sections.</p>
<p>Thank you, r3n-_- . It is good information. This forum is really becoming very helpful to me, perhaps the fastest way to get authentic advise.</p>
<p>These are good breaks at nice intervals.. It helps me in taking some tests in an actual simulated environment..</p>
<p>when i took my sat, i got one 10 minute break after section 5 and that was it</p>
<p>i had a stretcher and a 10min BR break. i think it has to do with the test proctor.</p>
<p>does it mean that there is no set time/procedure for these breaks ? Perhaps I would need to send an email to collegeboard..</p>
<p>If, for some reason, you don't get get any breaks during your exam, you have the right to demand for one.</p>
<p>I think it depends on the proctor, but r3n is right. If you do not get a break then demand one. Don't just say it quietly make it known to the proctror BEFORE you start a new section. Don't do anything risky while you are doing a section. I guess the best approach is to just raise your hand after a certain section is completed and ask "When is the break going to take place?"</p>
<p>there should be two breaks of at least 5 minutes and one break of one minute (you have to stay in the room for the short one). They should be fairly split up at regular intervals... I think it's supposed to be a break for each hour of testing...</p>
