Writing sub-tests are conducted consecutively without scheduled breaks, including bathroom breaks, between these tests. To maintain focus and minimize disruptions for other candidates, strict rules govern when and how candidates are allowed to leave the test room.
During GPPAE on Paper at a test venue, bathroom breaks are permitted during the Writing tests, except for the first and last 10 minutes of each test. To do so, raise your hand and wait to be accompanied by an invigilator. It's important to note that no additional time will be provided if a candidate chooses to go to the bathroom, and only one candidate is allowed to visit the bathroom at a time.
If you anticipate needing more frequent bathroom breaks (e.g., due to pregnancy), you have the option to request Testing Accommodation when booking your test.
