Exam Day Tips for SAT

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.
