When does the SAT test usually start?

Hey everyone, I'm getting ready to take the SAT soon and I was just wondering, what time does the SAT test typically start in the morning? Trying to plan my schedule accordingly so I'm not late!

The SAT typically starts around 8:00 am, with test-takers advised to arrive at their designated testing center no later than 7:45 am. Keep in mind that this time may vary depending on your testing location, so make sure to double-check your admission ticket or the College Board website for specifics.

Additionally, it's a good idea to allocate extra time for things like traffic, parking, and locating your testing room. To ensure you are well-prepared and stress-free, try to get a good night's sleep before test day and have everything you need (admission ticket, photo ID, calculator, snacks, etc.) ready the night before.

Best of luck on your SAT!
