Hi all, I'll be taking the SAT exam pretty soon and I was wondering at what time do they usually start? I want to make sure I'm well-prepared, aware of the start time, and know how early I should arrive at the testing center. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! SAT exams typically begin at 8:00 AM, with check-in starting around 7:30 AM. It's recommended that you arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start time to allow for the check-in process, which includes verifying your identification and finding your seat.
Make sure you have a valid ID, your admission ticket, an acceptable calculator, pencils, and an eraser with you when you arrive at your testing center. Remember to factor in travel time and any possible delays, like traffic, to ensure you arrive on time.
Getting a good night's sleep the night before and eating a balanced breakfast the morning of your test will also help you feel more prepared. Good luck on your upcoming SAT exam!
