In BUD/S, are you tested on how long you can hold your breath?

Your not specifically tested on how long you can hold you breath but there are several evolutions that do require you to stay calm and hold your breath. i.e. 50 meter underwater swim, dive harrasement when instructors turn you and twist you and you have to hold your breath while you recover your gear, the dive tower, etc. so to answer your question, no you are not tested on how long you can hold your breath but you will be required to hold your breath extended periods of time to pass.
