THE LAST MINUTE REMINDER FOR OUR STUDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before you know it, it'll be 8:30 Saturday morning and you'll be sitting in
the test center with an SAT test book in front of you. As your SAT test day
draws near, be sure to review these last-minute tips to help you do your
best.
The Day Before
Gather up everything you're going to need for the next morning. You don't
want to be stuck frantically searching for your admission ticket just before
you rush out the door. You'll need the following items:
Acceptable Photo ID
Your SAT Admission Ticket
Two sharpened No. 2 pencils
A calculator with fresh batteries
Write down the directions to the test center. Make sure you know how to get
to your test center and how long it'll take you to get there.
Check to see if your test center is open. Especially if there is bad weather
in your area, tune into your local media (like you do for school closing
announcements) or visit www.collegeboard.com on the Friday before the test
to make sure your test center is open.
Be well-rested and ready to go. Get a good night's sleep the night before
the test.
Set two alarms—one in your room and one in someone else's room, in case you
hit the snooze button one time too many.
The Morning of the Test
Eat breakfast. You'll be at the test center for four hours and you're likely
going to get hungry.
Bring snacks. During one of the breaks, you can eat or drink any snacks you
have brought with you. A healthy snack will go a long way toward keeping you
alert during the entire test.
Have your SAT Admission Ticket and acceptable Photo ID ready. You will need
your admission ticket and photo ID for admission to the test center.
Bring two No. 2 pencils and a soft eraser — a pencil is required for the
multiple choice questions and the essay. Mechanical pencils are not allowed.
Pens are not allowed.
Arrive at your test center no later than 7:45 a.m. Don't risk getting locked
out because you're 30 seconds late. Give yourself plenty of time to get to
get there. Consider traffic, weather conditions, flat tires, and anything
else that could slow you down.
During the Test
Use breaks to eat or drink any snacks you have brought with you. You will
have several breaks during the test. Use them to relax and eat a snack so
you can stay focused.
Work only on the section you are supposed to be working on. You're not
allowed to go back to a section once that section has ended. You also can't
start the next section if you finish a section early.
Do easier questions first. You earn just as many points for easy questions
as you do for hard ones.
Make sure you use a No. 2 pencil on the answer sheet. It is very important
that you fill in the entire circle darkly and completely. If you change your
response, erase it as completely as possible. It is very important that you
follow these instructions when filling out your answer sheet.
Use all of your time. Students around you may close up their test books and
rest their heads on their desks, but you know better. Go back to review
problems you weren't quite sure about the first time. Or, if you skipped any
hard problems use the time to try to work them out.
Stay positive and focused. Keep your mind on your work, not your score.
Try not to worry about whether you "nailed it" or "blew it." It'll be a long
couple of weeks if you do. Know you did your best—and celebrate. You deserve
it.
Good Luck!
