Packing List for the SAT Exam

Hello everyone! This might seem like a bit of an odd question, but I'm stumped about what to bring for my SAT exam. Does anyone have a list or some ideas they could share?

Sure, I'd be happy to help you create a packing list for your SAT exam! It's great that you're already planning this out.

Here's what you might consider bringing:

1. Admission Ticket: This is a must-have! Be sure to print your admission ticket from your College Board online account.

2. Photo ID: Bring a valid photo ID like a driver's license or a passport. A school ID can work too, but make sure it meets College Board's requirements.

3. Calculators: You'll be allowed to use a calculator for parts of the Math section. Make sure to bring one that meets the accepted guidelines from the College Board.

4. No. 2 Pencils: You'll need No. 2 pencils (not mechanical!) for the Multiple Choice section of the SAT. A good pencil sharpener and eraser can also come in handy.

5. Watch: A simple, non-digital watch can help you track time during the test. Just make sure it doesn't have an alarm, as this could disrupt the test.

6. Snacks and Water: You'll get a short break during the test in which you can eat and hydrate. Bring snacks that won't distract others, and a bottle of water.

7. Extra Layer of Clothing: The testing center could be warmer or cooler than you expect, so you might want to pack a light sweater or jacket.

Please remember to leave your cell phone and other electronic devices at home or in your car. Even if they're turned off, having these items in the testing room can lead to disqualification. The test day instructions will have more information on what to bring and what not to bring.

Good luck with your preparations!
