<p>Is there a specific Temperature TCB requires all test sites to be? Because I've been freezing my a** off during both of my tests. I wear a huge jacket, but it's still really, really, really cold. I know that it helps you to focus better, but really, it was like 30 degrees in that room.</p>
<p>I wear layers because my test center is freezing also.
During the weekend, my school doesn't turn on the heat to save energy.</p>
<p>Well in Alaska, that is a really bad idea. lol</p>
<p>lol. I had a similar situation in my November SAT. I was literally running out of the test center during my break to run my hands under the hot water from the bathroom sink, my chattering teeth distracted me from my CR passages, and my trembling hands made my math work very messy.</p>
<p>Try taking the tests in June in a school with no AC.</p>
<p>^ I'll pass thanks... </p>
<p>but really, that's is pretty bad. Doesn't TCB set regulations for its test centers?</p>
<p>Actually it wasn't all that bad b/c there was an open window with a breeze, but still . . .</p>
<p>Look, it's better to be freezing than for it to be really hot and the AC on -.-</p>
<p>they probably purposely mess with the temperature to get in your head</p>
<p>I just realized that students at higher altitudes deal with less barometric pressure stifling their thinking. The SAT isn't really standardized! Boo!</p>
<p>lol what if they had different curves to take into account the altitude of the test center.</p>
<p>A while ago I woulda said you people were getting way too serious about things, but I felt like I was gonna die last June taking my test. No AC, felt like 100 degrees out (not sure how hot it was), a bunch of teenagers sweating and stinking up a room...it was miserable.</p>
<p>the moral of the story: always choose a good test center... ]:O</p>
<p>This is a good thread. How about this: just be prepared, because ultimately you can't account for the temperature of your test site. Just before test day, I always stress to my students the importance of being prepared for any and all different temperature scenarios which basically just amounts to bringing a sweatshirt or sweater - something comfortable and easily put on/removed. Being comfortable is a huge consideration, whether it means being at the right temperature, or having the right snacks and avoiding a growling stomach.</p>
<p>well, i have to say that taking it in june without AC is worse. just from experience. but try going to a school that doesn't have heat OR air conditioning - and i mean all year round.</p>
<p>Dress in at least six layers, with the bottom layer a skimpy swimsuit and the top layer a full-length down parka. That way you'll be prepared for anything, and the sight of you will distract the other test-takers.</p>
<p>^Only if you're a girl ^_^</p>
