  The proctors only give 5 minute warnings. Some (most?) rooms have clocks (not timers, just regular clocks like you would find in an office), but it's best to bring your own ANALOG watch to keep time. If you have one with a rotating bezel, you can rotate the bezel to 0 before each section, if you only have a regular one you can pull out the wind-up button and quickly reset the minute hand to 0 before each section.

  i second what @runiggyrun said. stop somewhere and pick up a cheap analog watch (not digital). You can't be sure they'll have a clock.

  do they tell you what time the test will be ending before it starts? for example, "this section will end at 11:30pm"

  @julsnet, I have 3 but I use 2. I'm not sure if three is allowed on test day. Id have them set to 12:00 for 35 mins sections and switch. On the third section id have to rewind. Then i'd reset them during the break. The writing section I wouldent time.

  They wrote it on the board for me both times I took it, but every test center is different.
