Hi, I read the posts regarding the two 5-minutes break. Some say that the test restarts automatically after 5 minutes ---just like the Kaplan sample test which, I think, uses the computers clock to keep track of time.
It has been my habit to drink a cup of coffee and walk for a few minutes after some intensive work then come back. I don't know if that is possible when I am taking GMAT. The thing I fear most is that I happily to buy a cup of coffee and walk back, then find out that the test has started automatically for 9 minutes, eating my valuable test time.
I know that you need to press a buton when you go to next section. It sounds like there are some flexbility in executing the 5-minute break rule: as long as the supervisor lets you enter again you are fine and still have the whole 75 minutes time. Still, I am not sure if it will cut into the actual test time....Please state your experience...It should be a simple question to answer...Thanks

My advice is:
Maybe it's true, but don't count on it. Period end.

Everyone so far who took the test, confirmed that the breaks are longer than 5 mins.
It is due to the fact that you sign in and out of the room and it is not enough even to do what you gotta do. Akamai is playing safe, and I don't say that's wrong, but the breaks are not 5 mins. I have spent 15 mins sitting and enjoying life between the sections. Those are rare moments when you can sum up your life and sort of look around as though you are about to leave this world.. I will probably do it again just before I die. Maybe not.
My club experience has been that bouncers like to get an extra $20. Often they "make up" reasons for that
