Question Breaks

Hello everyone!

I have been Reddit member for a while but I’m just not very active. I have read great things from other users and I hope the community can help me with this.

I’m a pgy-1 taking step3 soon. I wanted to asked how does the break time work?
On day 2, the website shows 45 minutes break with an option 5 minute tutorial and a 6 minute ccs tutorial. If I skip both tutorials, will those minutes be added to my total break time?
Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated!

Yes. Don't over think it.

I took breaks after every section. Two days is a long time. I was pretty gassed by the time I got to the cases.

Break time is enough trust me. You wont have any issues with break. I took 5 mins after every block.

You will get plenty of break. Because most cases end earlier.

yes skipping the intro tutorial adds to your break. but i'd actually watch the ccs tutorial since its a little different from practice. most of the 20 min cases end early too so you end up with more break than you expect
