You cannot pause a MedicoExam simulation in the sense of stopping the timer. However, if you need to step away, you may leave and resume the exam later as long as time remains on the countdown clock. The timer continues running during your absence—just like real healthcare certification exams.
How It Works:
- You can exit the exam interface
- On return, you resume from the same point
- Your answers and position are preserved
- The timer does not stop
What This Means Practically:
- If you resume with 18 minutes left, you only have 18 minutes to finish
- Multi-hour breaks will cause the exam to expire when the timer reaches 0
- This models real credentialing behavior (timed + continuous)
Why We Use This Model:
Healthcare certification exams (e.g., NCLEX, NREMT, AAPC, AHIMA, NBRC) are designed to measure:
- pacing
- prioritization
- reasoning under time pressure
- exam endurance
Allowing pause-by-freeze would distort pacing practice and reduce realism.
Need More Flexibility?
Candidates with limited time can use Mini Exam Sessions to practice in shorter blocks (half-length simulation)
