Hi Folks, I'm stressing a little bit about my first SAT. What time does it usually start? Is there a typical reporting time we're supposed to follow?
Hi there, no need to stress! The reporting time for SAT is usually around 7:45 A.M. and doors often close at 8:00 A.M. While the precise start time can vary slightly, testing typically begins between 8:15 - 8:45 A.M. after all of the check-in procedures are completed. For the digital SAT, the reporting time should be the same, though you should always check any communications from College Board or your test center for specific instructions.
I recommend getting there a bit early to settle any nerves and make sure you're ready when the test is going to start! Remember to bring your admission ticket, photo ID, calculator, and remember it's better to be slightly early than rushed. Good luck with your test!
