SAT DIGITAL REMINDERS!!!!

What to Bring on SAT Test Day:

There are only a few things you really need to bring on test day and a lot of things you’ll be better off leaving at home. Be sure to bring:

• Your fully charged testing device with the Bluebook™ application installed (see detailed device requirements). Make sure that College Board’s testing software, Bluebook, is installed and fully updated on the device that you plan to use for the test. If this is a personal computer, the student can install.  If this is a PACS school computer…The PACS IT DEPARTMENT MUST INSTALL THIS FOR THE STUDENT.  Make sure you allow plenty of time for this to be done…DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO REQUEST!

• Charge your device the night before to ensure a full battery on test day. Pack your charger just in case!

• Your up-to-date admission ticket PRINTED OUT!
• Acceptable photo ID.
• Pencils or pens for scratch work.
• An acceptable calculator for use on the Math section of the test (there will be an embedded graphing calculator available to use within Bluebook).
• Epinephrine auto-injectors (like EpiPens) are permitted without an approved 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.

Nice to Have:

• A watch without an audible alarm. (The Bluebook application has a built-in timer that tells you exactly how much time you have left, but you might still want to time your break.)
• A charging cable if your testing device can’t hold a charge for 3 hours.
• A bag or backpack.
• A drink or snacks (for your break).
• A backup testing device.
