I'm registered for the SAT and I want to make sure I'm on time. When do you guys suggest arriving at the testing center? Is there a specific time we should be there? Thanks in advance!
It's essential to plan ahead and arrive early on your test day. Officially, the College Board recommends that students arrive at the testing center by 7:45 am. However, I would suggest aiming to reach there by around 7:30 am, as that gives you plenty of time for navigating any unexpected delays, finding your testing room, and settling in.
Arriving early will also help you avoid feeling rushed and can give you time to mentally prepare for the exam. Also, before you leave home, ensure you have all of your required materials, including your admission ticket, a photo ID, #2 pencils, an eraser, and an approved calculator. Best of luck on your SAT!
