Tomorrow, March 9th, many students will be taking the SAT test… an exam needed to get into college!!
Here are a few good tips to remember before taking the SAT test!!
- Print your Admission Ticket: Make sure to bring you identification and your admission ticket to your test room. They have to verify that you are the same person listed on their paper.
- Check your calculator’s batteries. Make sure your calculator works before taking the exam! You wouldn’t want to start the exam and realize that your calculator doesn’t work!
- Set out everything else you’ll need for the test. Make sure to prepare the night before and set out everything you’ll need for the test so you don’t forget anything! For example: Pencils (multiple – and sharpened), eraser, non-beepy wristwatch, water, calculator, your admission ticket, and identification!
- Watch a movie or something. Seriously, take your mind off the SAT for a bit. Nothing you can do today is going to change anything in a major way, and you want to walk in to the test room well-rested, not panicked and confident.
- Set your alarm. SERIOUSLY! A lot of people use cell phone alarms these days, and sometimes those are set only to go off Monday through Friday. Make sure your alarm is going to wake you up tomorrow. You don’t want to be running late or stressing out the morning of your exam! It’s the most important day and you need to keep cool, calm, and collected so that you do the best that you can!!
- Go to bed early!! Make sure you get a good nights rest.. you don’t want to be falling asleep during the test.. it’s 4 hours and you need to pay attention for the full 4 hours! It’s a long exam… Make sure to eat a nutritious dinner the night before, a nutritious and filling breakfast the morning of, and having energy that will keep you motivated and focused for the exam!
Hope this helps and good luck to all the students taking the exam tomorrow!
