</p>

<p>kind of hard when even a few seconds are crucial on this test…</p>

<p>Here’s the list of prohibited items from the Collegeboard site [SAT</a> Test Day: What to Bring](<a href=“http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/sat/testday/bring.html]SAT”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools) :
What Not to Bring to the Test Center</p>

<p>You may not bring the following items into the test room:</p>

<pre><code>* Cell phone, pager, personal digital assistant, iPod, MP3 player, and any other digital or electronic equipment.

  • Scratch paper
  • Notes, books, dictionary
  • Compass, protractor, ruler, or any other aid
  • Highlighter or colored pencils
  • Portable listening or recording device (unless you’re taking a Language Test with Listening)
  • Camera or other photographic equipment
  • Separate timer of any kind or watch with audible alarm
    </code></pre>

<p>From the above list, it looks like those little foam ear plugs construction workers wear without any cords might be fine at some testing centers, but I wouldn’t chance it with any kind of headset or plugs with cords that may look like you could be plugged in electronically.</p>

<p>If your daughter’s a senior, then there won’t be any other chance to take the SAT again, so reporting won’t make a big difference. Plus, it probably didn’t have a huge impact on her score. I agree the test administrator was very unprofessional, but reporting may just be a waste of time…</p>

24

<p>The thing that sucks is that this was your last opportunity to test and it got screwed up. They can offer you an apology and a retest, but they can’t turn back time.</p>

<p>You should always start taking SATs in your junior year, you really don’t want to wait until the last possible minute like this.</p>

<p>Thank you all for responding. I did send a complaint to the college board. Maybe they can prevent this woman from doing this again. The test admins are paid $15/hr so it definitely is not volunteer work. Yes we are late in taking this very important test and I understand those comments but no one knows a person’s personal/financial situation. I have two other children who were never given this chance and all of a sudden with my third, I am able (although late) due to some assistance. We are praying for a decent score…Good Luck to all on their own tests.</p>

<p>good luck, i’m sure your daughter did fine.</p>
