SAT will be administered beginning at 8:45 a.m. in the upper floor of Building 2. Testing will conclude at approximately noon, followed by lunch (optional). Any junior who normally arrives later than 8:45 a.m. or leaves earlier than noon must make plans to be here for this full time period on testing day.
Please bring your charged iPad and charger.
Please bring a calculator if you want to use your own on the SAT. (It cannot be an internet-connected device.) Otherwise, a calculator is built into the digital test.
Cell phones and smart watches are not permitted at any time during the testing or break time. Your test will be invalidated if you are caught with any electronic device, other than your testing device. We will collect phones and smart watches prior to the test.
Juniors may be excused from afternoon classes if they have transportation home. Any junior leaving at this time must leave immediately after testing or immediately after A lunch. Any junior staying must attend their classes for periods 4-7. Any junior leaving at a different time must follow normal call-out / sign-out procedures.
