When you take the SAT, there are a few things you'll need to bring with you. See below for a list of what not to forget on your test day!
Printed Admissions Ticket
When you register to take the SAT, you will receive an admissions ticket for your specific testing location. You’ll need to bring a printed copy of this ticket with you to the testing center - before printing, double check to make sure the location hasn’t changed!
Photo ID
Accepted photo identification must be the original version of an ID issued by the government or by the school which you currently attend. The name on the ID must match the name on your registration.
Two No. 2 Pencils
It can’t hurt to have a spare - and make sure they have working erasers!
An Approved Calculator
You can use a calculator on the Math Test - Calculator section! Accepted calculators include all scientific calculators, most graphing calculators, and four-function calculators (although these are not recommended due to their simplicity). Note that you may not share calculators with others.
Face Covering
Make sure you check the masking requirements for your specific testing location, and bring along a face covering just in case.
A Watch
While not required, it can be helpful to bring a watch with you to the test, so that you can more effectively pace yourself. Smart watches will not be allowed - the simpler the better! Also, be sure to make sure your watch doesn’t have an alarm set.
Water Bottle and Snacks
For most students, there will be one 10-minute break and one 5-minute break during the test. You won’t be able to use your phones, but you will be able to take a drink and have a quick snack!
