You are allowed 1 hour to complete the 60 multiple choice questions (though I think they're pretty loose on the time limit). These questions are the same as you would see on the online tests. I would suggest doing the practice test over and over until it's 2'nd nature. Then do the online "admittance" test (75 multiple choice questions). Passing this gets you a seat for the proctored exam. During the exam you must have nothing on the table except your trusty #2 pencil or pen. So no you can't bring any aids, you must have committed it all to memory. IIRC you must answer 80% of the questions correctly to pass and receive your SBC.
