What time does the SAT test usually start?

Hi all! I'm taking the SAT soon and am trying to plan my morning. Does anyone know what time the SAT typically starts? Thanks!

The SAT test usually starts around 8:00 AM, but you should aim to arrive at your testing center no later than 7:30 AM. This will give you enough time to find your assigned room, check in with the test proctors, and get settled before the test begins. Keep in mind that traffic, parking, and the check-in process might take longer than expected, so it's always a good idea to plan for some extra time just in case. Make sure to bring your admission ticket, a valid photo ID, an approved calculator, and number 2 pencils with erasers. Good luck on your test!
