I'm gonna take the test on Friday. I'm curious to know how you folks use the break time during the exams.

This is what I did :)

I will break down in steps done ;)

1) Refreshing my head with water
2) Drinking Coca cola light
3) Eating apple compote (a nice plus : easy to digest & giving energy longly)
4) Drinking water
5) Drinking Coca cola light
6) Remaining quiet with closed eyes

and apperently, my GMAT center was not so constraining ;)

The GMAT center allowed you to bring food in? Or did you just take your food from the storage area?

My GMAT center was not so constraining about the check procedure ;)...
Concering the food, all stayed out and have to be eaten out :)

So yes, the food and drinks were in a drawer not a real locker ;)... It's a small center in France for 2 GMATTER a time and once a week :)

I went to the restroom one time and drank some water and ate a protein bar in between the essays and the quantative.

Just be careful about your bladder to be certain you don't have to go in the middle!
