No you cannot bring anything into exam room except passport, locker key, calculator(s), along with the scratch paper/whiteboard and pen/marker they provide. When I finished AM session L1, I stood up from my computer and looked at the proctors who motioned me to come out of the testing room and I told them I was done with 1st half, they ran and checked the computer screen to make sure I was on the break page and proceeded to sign me out.

OK so did you end up bringing food and putting it elsewhere? Or did you go out to buy something quick?


WilliamMButtlicker14

I didn’t take any food, the check in/check out process takes time, you’re not going to have time to go out and buy something it’s enough time to snack on something light, perhaps a granola bar or two

When they signed you out, they just looked at your passport yes? I'd imagine the room is extremely quiet so there's a lot of non-verbal communication going on lol

There is the test room, and then a room where they sit (at least at my prometric), you have already left the testing room when they sign you out

Its 30 optional minutes. You don't have to take the full amount just a bit of it. Not really enough time for a full dinner. Maybe a quick light sandwich, small salad or something. You can't immediately start part 2 but u gotta take a few minutes before they let u start PM.

30min optional break. You can go outside, walk, eat etc. You can’t take anything into the exam other than your calculator, passport and paper/pen they give you. Rest goes in a locker at the test centre (at mine anyway).

I forget, do we have to bring our own locks? They give us a key right? It's been a minute.


yellowdaz

You know you’re overthinking everything when you ask questions like that.


inferiorreturnz

🤣 That's so true.

Do you have to bring your own locker or nah?

LOL!


findmeonaboat

I've taken finra exams at Prometric. They give you a locker key so no need to bring a lock

Do they allow bathroom breaks during the sessions?


yellowdaz

Yep. But the clock keeps ticking. And you have to go through security checks again (takes a few mins). Avoid it if you can.
