You can flag questions, revisit encountered questions, and explicitly pause to stop timing. At 140 minutes you may continue in extra time; your attempt will not submit automatically.
If your connection drops, timing stops within 60 seconds of the last successful connection. Saved answers are restored when you resume. Retakes use the same Test A questions. Pausing across days is a practice convenience.
Answers and explanations appear after you submit. Submitted attempts cannot be changed.
