Jeff, Do you mean two 8-minute breaks, one b/w AWA and Quant and the other b/w Quant & Verbal?

Yes. They've reduced the break period to 8 mins. (two 8 mins breaks. Breaks are optional by the way ;) )

Still 8 minutes, though you should subtract a minute or so off of that because it takes some time for the testing center people to escort you out of the testing area, scan your palm/fingerprint, and do the same in reverse order when you're ready to get started again.

A word of advice :

Please follow instructions about GMAT and other testing policies only from GMAC(the council which conducts the exam)

go through
www.mba.com
this is the official website.

Stop going after unofficial sources.
