Doors Open Early
All test centers open for only 15 minutes to admit students; the time will be mentioned on your admission ticket. No one is allowed entry once testing has started. If you are late that day you will have to reschedule.
Once Testing Begins
Remember these few points:
- Your seat is pre-assigned, you can’t choose your seat. So wait to be seated.
- The test supervisors will answer questions only about testing procedure, they are not in the capacity to field queries about test questions or content.
- The test supervisor will make announcements about the time to start and stop for each section.
- You can’t go back to a section once the time for that section has ended.
- You can’t go ahead to a new section even if you finish the current section early.
- It is not recommended to skip sections, because doing that may result in delays or score cancellation.
- It is normal for two test books to have a different order of sections. Your second section may be reading questions, while your neighbours' book may have math questions.
Breaks
- For all students, there is a 10-minute break during the test, and you are allowed to snack/eat only then.
- Keep your passport and admission ticket on a person at all times. Whenever you leave the testing room for a break, you will be checked for the documents.
- Leave answer sheets, scratch paper and calculator on your desk while leaving testing room during breaks.
Check when you are going to take the SAT test. The SAT syllabus is vast hence it cannot be covered in a couple of hours. If you have a good amount of time say six months then you need to give fewer hours daily, on the other hand, if you have less amount of time for SAT test then you need to study more hours. Go through the SAT syllabus and understand how much it will take you to cover each and every topic and prepare a study plan accordingly. Thus, this completely depends on the applicant and how he/she wishes to cover the SAT exam syllabus.
As in the case of the SAT, there are no restrictions set by the College Board, students can take the SAT exam as many times as they want. SAT is administered now eight times a year in India from 2025. The test is usually conducted in March, May, June, August, September, October, November and December.
However, it is recommended that applicants appear for SAT twice - in Spring and one before Fall. This is because the highest SAT scores among the two will be considered by universities for admission. Since in a lot of cases, SAT scores improve in the second time, it is recommended to take the SAT exam twice.
