Can someone please tell me - how much time do you get to spend on the screen that pops up after the IR section (and the Quant section) asking whether you want to take the optional break? I believe this screen is not timed. Should I stay on this screen and ONLY click YES to the question - that I want to take a break, after the invigilator has arrived at my desk to escort me out?
The last time I appeared for this test, I clicked yes and then raised my hand for someone to come escort me out. This resulted in the break time beginning before the proctor had arrived at my desk (because I was afraid this screen will go away if I don't respond and quant will start right-away)....Hopefully this is clear, if not, I will be happy to elaborate/clarify. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi
There are 8 minute, optional, breaks after IR and Quant section.
You can take at any time an unscheduled break, but it will count from your test time.
Sometimes, if you finish a section earlier, you might not be allowed to use the extra time.
Hope that my answer clarifies your concerns.

Hi Mvictor, Thank you for responding!!! However I am actually referring to the screen you get before you have to indicate that you wish to take a break. I remember that as soon as I finished my IR a screen came up saying something on the lines of "This screen is not timed. You have now completed the IR section and will have an opportunity to take an optional break." Then you have a Yes/No on this AFTER which the timer for your break starts. So my question was, should I click "yes I want to take a break" AFTER the invigilator has arrived at my desk or I need to click ""yes I want to take a break" and then raise my hand for the invigilator to escort me out. In my last attempt I clicked "Yes" then raised my hand and the invigilator took about 1 minute to get to me so I ended up getting a shorter break. Hopefully this is clear, if not, please let me know
