Testing Day:
● ID: Students need their school ID or driver’s license on test day. 
● Cell Phones: It is imperative that students leave their cell phones in their locker, at home, or turned off in their bag (not on vibrate). It is SAT policy that if any electronic device makes a noise during testing, then that student must be removed from the testing room and their scores cancelled. This situation is considered an SAT irregularity and as a testing center, we must follow their rules. 
● Food: Students may have a snack in their bag, but there will be no eating or drinking in the testing room. Students will have a break during testing, but any snacks must be consumed outside of the testing room. 
● Watches: Programmable watches or smart watches are not allowed. Like cell phones, if a watch makes a noise, then the student will be removed from the testing room and his/her score cancelled. 
● Calculators: Students will need to bring an SAT approved calculator on testing day. Please use this site to check your calculator. We will have some calculators available, but our supply is limited, so please attempt to have your student bring his/her calculator. 
● Pencils: No mechanical pencils are allowed during testing. Students should plan to bring two or three sharpened #2 pencils on test day. 
● Chromebooks (Juniors): Please plug in Chromebooks over break. Students will need a fully charged device on Friday, April 15th for M-STEP testing. 
● Breakfast: Please try to make sure your student eats a substantial breakfast on test days. It is important to properly fuel the body and mind. 

Thank you for your attention to these important details. Doing so will ensure an efficient test administration, allow for testing to be completed in the time allotted, and result in all scores being successfully submitted. If you have any questions regarding testing, please contact an administrator or our testing coordinator.
