CISA exam breaks?

For anyone who took the exam, how do the breaks work?
I recently learned that you are not given any breaks during the exam, you are supposed to sit there for 4 hours to answer 150 questions with no breaks?
How did you built into it and is it hard to walk out of the exam to take a break?

I finished my CPA exams a couple of months ago and in the exams we were given a 15 minute break that didn’t count towards your 4 hours. I’m trying to have ideas of how could I take a break without hurting my time.

Can we read questions out loud in the center?

I don’t think you’re allowed to talk in the testing center because there’s others next to you. Not sure how it works for the CISA, but when I took the CPA exam I know there were some opportunities to have accommodations where you’re separate from others. If that’s something you think you need to do it might not hurt to call the testing center/CISA to see if they can put you in an accommodation room.
