Do not infer break rules from the timer layout alone. Follow the assessment instructions and platform guidance explicitly.
Separate section timers can exist even when the overall assessment is intended to be completed in one sitting. Starting or closing sections can also affect whether the test can be resumed.
A platform might show a 20-minute numerical section and a 15-minute verbal section while still instructing candidates not to leave the assessment once they begin.
Read the full instructions before starting. If the rules do not clearly explain breaks or pausing, ask recruiting or the assessment provider rather than experimenting during the live test.
