Hey second (soon to be third) years!
We just wanted to chime in on what's going to happen on test day since a couple of people stated their concerns about the test center and how it works as the big day draws closer
You get to the test center (hopefully a few minutes early) and they'll start calling people in on a first-come, first-serve basis. The proctor will make you sign some paper work, check your ID and take a picture of you for good measure. They'll point you to a couple of lockers (about 1 cubic foot of space) where you put your stuff in there. Make sure you bring your lunch in and don't count on finding a take-out place nearby.
Then they'll show you to your little cubicle where your computer is. You'll have a couple of dry-erase sheets and markers for scratch work (you won't be allowed to take any notes on paper and take it with you for obvious reasons).
At the testing center, there's going to be alot of other tests going on and they're all not multiple choice. Some test takers can unfortunately also be rather annoying with their typing, clicking, and reading to themselves (more of problem then you might expect) and the headphones they provide… well, they suck big time. So bring your own ear plugs (and make sure that you get used to answering questions with ear plugs in)
You'll have an allocated amount of time for all your breaks (bathroom or lunch). It's up to you to use that break time as you see fit. If you want to eat lunch after the first block go right ahead and conversely if you should so desire, you could take all blocks without any breaks in between. So pace yourselves and use your time wisely.
That's basically what you should expect on test day. If you guys have any questions, feel free to email back.
