What should I wear to the SAT?

Hey guys, I'm taking the SAT soon and I'm wondering what I should wear. I want to be comfortable throughout the test. Any advice?

Hey there! Comfort is definitely key when taking a long exam like the SAT. You'll want to focus on the test, not on feeling too cold or too warm. Here are a few tips for dressing comfortably on test day:

1. Dress in layers: Wearing layers allows you to adjust to fluctuations in room temperature. Start with comfortable clothes like a T-shirt and a light sweater or jacket. If you get too warm, you can remove the sweater or jacket.

2. Avoid clothing with lots of pockets or zippers: You don't want any metal or objects in your pockets that might trigger security checks or make noise in the testing room.

3. Choose comfortable bottoms: Opt for comfortable pants or leggings that aren't too tight. This will help you stay comfortable while sitting for an extended period.

4. Wear comfortable shoes: Closed-toe shoes like sneakers that have good support and cushioning are recommended. Keep in mind that you might have to walk around during breaks.

5. Avoid accessories that can be distracting: Leave flashy jewelry, hats, or scarves at home. You don't want anything detracting from your focus on the test.

Remember, the most important thing is to be comfortable and focused on the test. Good luck on your SAT!
