The sylvain testing centers should allow bathroom breaks. There should be a mechanism to shut off your monitor and get a restroom pass. *excessive* restroom breaks are discouraged, but if you have *any* special needs, let them know about it up front (when you register) and they *must* make provision for you.

>>>Well, I'm a slow test taker, so I'm sure it would take me longer. Do they let you get up and walk around? I can probably sit for 2 hours, but that's pushing it. The PT said no more than an hour, but I've done more already. What about water? I'll only make it about 15 minutes without something to drink. Can I bring my bottle in? And bathroom breaks are a must...
