FINRA remote exam - tips pls, how do breaks work?

Hi all, I have my first remote version of a FINRA exam coming up. It's a four hour exam and in reading the Proctor overview, there is no drinks/water allowed, and no break allowed for my particular exam. If I go to the bathroom, the clock would not stop. 

Any tips overall for the remote test

Also, how do the breaks work, if I want to get up and get a cup of water, can I do that? 

Thank you!

Webcam, make you scan your room with the webcam, a lot of rules about what stuff you can and can't do/use. Sometimes companies have software that tracks eye movement so if you look off-screen, you get flagged.
