the sat begins between 8:30 and 9 a.m. so waking up for the test is similar to waking up for a school day. the exact start time can vary depending on how fast your proctor reads the instructions, and how long it takes you and fellow test-takers to fill out your personal information on a form.<\/p>\n

the doors to the testing room open at 7:45 and close at 8 a.m. in my experience taking the test, it seemed that most people arrived at 7:45 or earlier. i would arrive at the testing location and find a giant crowd fairly early in the morning. this can be overwhelming. i recommend isolating yourself in a quiet corner so you can calm down before the test begins. don\u2019t talk to other frenzied test-takers because they\u2019ll just end up stressing you out. also, don\u2019t try to cram right before you walk into the test room. make sure you know all of this information well beforehand.<\/p>\n
