To have a smooth and successful SAT test day, you should bring the following items:
- Face covering
- Your up-to-date admission ticket (print this out)
- Acceptable photo ID
- Two No. 2 pencils with erasers
- An approved calculator
- A watch without an audible alarm (optional)
- Extra batteries and backup equipment (youll have to ask for permission to access them)
- A bag or backpack (optional)
- A drink or snacks (for your break)
Epinephrine auto-injectors (like EpiPens) are permitted without the need for accommodations. They must be placed in a clear bag and stored under the student’s desk during testing. For policies on other medications and medical devices, contact Services for Students with Disabilities.
Its important to print your admission ticket, even if you already printed it when you registered. Check again to make sure your test center hasn’t changed. Sign in to your College Board account to print your updated admission ticket. You cant get into the test center without it.
On test day, you should also bring a charging cable if your testing device cant hold a charge for 3 hours (for digital SAT only), and a backup testing device (for digital SAT only).
You should not bring mobile phones, smartwatches, or wearable technology such as fitness trackers, as these will be collected and held during testing. Other prohibited items include electronic devices, books, notes, scratch paper, highlighters, colored pens or pencils, correction fluid or tape, rulers, protractors, compasses, timers, and cameras.
Its also important to note that you must present acceptable photo identification (ID) for admission to the test center. You are responsible for understanding and following the SAT Test-Taker Identification Requirements and Policies. A valid driver’s license, passport, or ID from your current school is acceptable, but an expired ID is not.
If you have any questions about what to bring or what not to bring, you can visit the College Boards SAT Test Day Simulator or contact Services for Students with Disabilities.
