Equipping the Test room All seats must face the same direction, with chairs directly behind one another, and each seat must be 4 feet apart from the center of the desk right to left Develop a seating plan ahead of time that follows the guidelines, assign seats at random, and once testing begins, complete the seating chart of the testing room On the board: Test date School name and test center number (Memorial High School—44949) Room number “USE A NO. 2 PENCIL ONLY.

Calculator policies Students must supply their own calculators and batteries—a scientific or graphing calculator is recommended Students may not share calculators Staff are not expected to have extra equipment or batteries Every question on the SAT can be solved without a calculator; however, using a calculator may be helpful Calculators may be used on the mathematics sections (calculator portion) only There are calculator and non-calculator portions of the Math section To help monitor, look for the “No Calculator” symbol at the top of each test book page Students may not have calculators on their desk when working on non math sections
