I took a bathroom break yesterday between my MCQs and my Sims because I didn’t know how long I’d be working on the Sims and didn’t want to have to rush through them because of a full bladder. I was gone all of 60 seconds (yes, including handwashing), and when I got back, the testing center monitor had just started checking someone in. I had to stand there for at least 5 minutes with my clock running while he did all the stuff he did with her.

Is this normal?

I also didn’t get a survey. 🙁

AUD - 88
FAR - 90
REG - 85
BEC - 88

I've waited once, but not more than a few minutes. They try to be fast.

And there's a survey every time.

Same thing happened to me, including the hand washing.

They need a better system. They should add an optional 5 minute break between Mult choic and Sims. When I came back from my break the proctor was nowhere to be found. Had to track down another proctor who signed me back in. So annoying. There's not a survey every time. I didn't get one for FAR.

BEC (11/10) 77 (Bisk)
FAR 7/2 - 63 11/5 - 80 (Yeager - Fail, Becker - Pass)
Reg (08/11) - 78 (Yeager)
Aud - 11/29 - 78(Yeager)

OMG…yes! That happened to me yesterday. The guy at the desk told me to sign in and then (after I signed in), he said “okay, now let me look up your name in the computer”. I wanted to say “you should've been doing that while I was signing my name!!!”. It made me so mad. I wanted to grab his mouse and do it for him. We pay good money for these exams, and I agree with rgibson3rd. We should get a scheduled break.

FAR...80...Yaeger...Nov/2011
AUD...Exam...Oct/2012
REG
BEC

i never took break while doing my CPA exams, i tried not drinking any liquid few hours before my exam since i am a slow reader for English, so i could save some time for myself, also reducing the hassle of waiting for staff checking me in again which is out my control.
