Test Day Tips for 3/14/09 SAT Exam

Dear Friends:

The SAT Test has once again arrived! This is the third test of the season, and at this point, most of you are starting to feel the pressure. It is very important for those who are taking the test tomorrow to channel those feelings of pressure and anxiety into a constructive performance high. To help relieve some worries about Saturday's test, JLP has put together some tips to follow before the big exam.

Test Day Tips:
  • Get a good night's sleep before the test. Make sure that you slumber for at least eight hours.
  • The test is several hours long, so eat breakfast. Make sure you consume the right amount of proteins to give you the kick-start you need.
  • When eating breakfast, complete a few test questions in order to fully awaken your brain.
  • Bring Photo ID and your SAT Admission Ticket.
  • Bring two No. 2 pencils and a good eraser—a pencil is required for the multiple-choice questions and the essay. Mechanical pencils are not allowed because they may have the wrong type of lead or punch through the answer sheet. Pens are not allowed.
  • Bring a calculator with fresh batteries.
  • Bring snacks. You will get a short break at the end of each hour of testing time. You can eat or drink any snacks you have brought with you during these breaks. A healthy snack will go a long way toward keeping you alert during the entire test.
  • Unless otherwise instructed, you need to arrive at your assigned test center by 7:45 a.m. Make sure you give yourself an hour to get there. Most times, a test is not given at the student's home school, so it may be difficult finding certain locations and rooms upon arrival. It is better to arrive early and use that time to study, instead of rushing due to tardiness. Testing should be completed between 12:30 and 1 p.m.
