This article explains how to take a break in the middle of a test, what happens when Tarteel pauses a test automatically, and how to end a session.

Tap the pause button to pause your test at any time. Pausing keeps everything in place: your score, your streak, your mistakes, and your position in the current question. Tap play to pick up exactly where you left off.
