Do you get any time to decide if you want to take a break?
On the NBME Step 2 practice exams, once you finish one section and hit submit, you immediately go into the next section, with exam time already ticking.
I can’t quite remember, but I feel like on the real deal for Step 1, we had some short period of time to decide if we want to take a break or continue to the next section. Or maybe our break time started ticking while we decided?
Can anyone who took Step 2 recently tell me exactly how it works? Is there a pause between sections, and if so, does that count as break time?
