What is the SAT?
The SAT is a widely used college entrance exam in the United States that measures skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. It helps universities evaluate students’ readiness for academic work. Learn more about the SAT on the College Board website. https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat

All U.S. colleges and universities accept SAT scores during their admissions process.

The SAT test is offered only in digital format and on fixed dates. Plan to register early as test centers sometimes fill, and allow yourself time to re-test if you are not satisfied with your results.

The SAT Reasoning Test is a standardised test that helps universities evaluate applicants' academic knowledge and analytical capabilities. It is also used here in Palestine as a requirmement for the SAT/CLEP/AP Palestinian Tawjihi Equivelancy.

SAT Reasoning 

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).
• Face covering (if required at your test center).
• Your up-to-date admission ticket.
• 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.

How do I print my digital SAT admission ticket?
If you've registered for an upcoming digital SAT administration, 1–5 days before your test day, go into Bluebook™, select your test, and complete a short exam setup. The app will generate your admission ticket, which you can print out or email to yourself.

Digital SAT ID Requirements

Your admission ticket isn't enough to get you into the test center. Follow these guidelines so you don't get turned away. You’re responsible for understanding and following these requirements as they appear here.

ID documents must meet all these requirements:

• Be a valid (unexpired) photo ID that is government issued or issued by the school you currently attend. School IDs from the prior school year are valid through the end of December of the current calendar year. (For example, school IDs from 2023-24 can be used through December 31, 2024.)
• Be an original, physical document (not photocopied or electronic).
• Bear your full, legal name exactly as it appears on your admission ticket, including the order of the names.
• Bear a recent recognizable photograph that clearly matches both your appearance on test day and the photo you provided when you registered.
• Be in good condition, with clearly legible English language text and a clearly visible photograph.
