Hey there! So, my SAT test day is nearly here. While I think I'm okay with the studying part, I'm still unsure about what stuff to take with me on the test day itself. Can anyone lend a hand?
Absolutely, happy to help! First things first, you definitely want to bring your Admission Ticket. You won't be allowed into the test center without it. Also, you'll need a photo ID for verification—this could be a school ID or driver's license.
For the test itself, bring No. 2 pencils with erasers. Mechanical pencils or pens aren't allowed. Also, important to note: as of 2024, you can use a calculator on both math modules of the SAT, so make sure to bring a calculator. It's a good idea to bring spare batteries if your calculator isn't solar-powered.
On the digital SAT, scratch paper will be provided, so you don't need to bring your own. If you wear glasses, don't forget to bring them. Wear a watch (without an audible alarm) to keep track of time. Keep in mind they won't allow cell phones or any other digital devices.
Lastly, the SAT is quite a long test, so it's good to have snacks and a drink for your break. Go for something light and healthy that won't cause a sugar crash.
Make sure to double-check everything the night before, and best of luck on your SAT!
