Break Functionalities for Neurocritical Care Certification Exam ONLY

• In an operational examination: Optional pooled breaks of 40 minutes are available for use. Examinees can use as much or as little break time as they see fit during any given optional break. However, if the entire amount of pooled break time is exhausted, time spent on subsequent breaks will decrease your available remaining examination time. You will be presented with a break screen dialog box informing you of how much break time is available and how many breaks remain in the examination. On the break screen, you will select whether or not you want to take a break at that moment.
• In the demonstration examination: There are NO break functionalities. As such, when you complete a section, you will NOT be presented with a break screen but rather the next section of questions.

A flow chart is provided below to illustrate how breaks work during an operational examination. Please review it to prepare yourself for the break screens during a live examination. Click each blue box within the flow chart to preview the actual break screens.
