SAT 시험일(그리고 전날) 챙겨야 할 것들
THE NIGHT BEFORE SAT TEST DAY
First and foremost, try to stay in and go to sleep early the night before the SAT. Give your body time to get adequate rest so that you will awake refreshed and ready to conquer the exam. Before you go to bed, set out what you will wear and the materials you plan to take.
Make sure that your alarm is set to wake you up at least an hour and a half before you need to leave your home for the exam. You want to allow yourself plenty of time to hear your alarm, get dressed, pack your bag, and eat a big breakfast. Also, if you are unfamiliar with the testing location, look up the directions beforehand. Visualizing your route and knowing how long it will take to get there will help you pace yourself and alleviate potential stressors. Plan ahead so you know how you’ll be getting to the testing center: will a parent drive you? Will you drive yourself? Will you take public transportation? Will you carpool with a friend? Knowing this ahead of time and confirming the night before the SAT will make the morning of the SAT smoother and less stressful.
YOUR SAT TEST DAY CHECKLIST
Here’s what to bring to the SAT:
YOUR SAT ADMISSION TICKET
Get it by logging onto your CollegeBoard account, and be sure to print your ticket out.
VALID PHOTO ID
Bring your original ID—not a photocopy—and make sure it hasn’t expired. Check out the CollegeBoard’s list of requirements for photo IDs for more info.
TWO NO. 2 PENCILS WITH ERASERS
Mechanical pencils and pens aren’t allowed on the SAT, even on the essay section.
AN APPROVED CALCULATOR
Check out the CollegeBoard’s calculator policy for information about what calculators are considered acceptable to use on the SAT.
A DRINK OR SNACK FOR THE BREAK (OPTIONAL)
EXTRA BATTERIES AND/OR BACKUP CALCULATOR AND WATCH (OPTIONAL)
Do not bring your cell phone to the SAT. Students can be kicked out of SAT administrations because they’re caught using their phones—even if not to cheat—or because a phone alarm accidentally goes off. Leave your phone at home, not in your backpack under your desk.
See the CollegeBoard website for more information about what to bring and what not to bring to the SAT.
