<p>How often, and how long, do you get breaks for the SAT? What can you do during those breaks (can you eat and stuff?) </p>
<p>Does the proctor inform you after the end of each 20-25 minute session? If so, does everyone stop immediately, if you see what I mean, or do some people continue filling in answer sheets/polishing essays for a few seconds? (I tend to do that on practise tests, but I'm not sure whether it's allowed or not).</p>
<p>Finally, how long does the whole thing take (breaks included)?</p>
<p>Thanks ^^. (is taking the SAT for the first time on June 6th).</p>
<p>I had 3 breaks
5 minutes after section 2
5 minutes after section 4
5 minutes after section 6
and then sections 7-10 :|</p>
<p>The proctor notice us 5 minutes. she didn’t gave any additional time she was accurate to the 5 sec top. Some people add some answers when she called time like 1-2 if she saw them she admonished them, but didn’t do anything else.</p>
<p>She caught someone talking with another student during the test, and she wrote both of their names on a “suspicion cheating” or something like that, but she let them do their test. But their name and deatiles were sent to college board.</p>
<p>We were allowed to eat and drink during the breaks outside of the class, and there were proctors in the hallways checking that no one speaks about the test question.</p>
<p>my room was frozen around 57:|
and there was a lot of noise outside the room, they drill and move desks, and there was a cafeteria with a loud espresso machine that blew steam every 15 minutes:</p>
<p>And it takes about a total of 4 hours and 30 minutes. 3h45m for the actual test and 45 minutes for breaks, filling out information, distribution and collection etc.</p>
<p>The SAT is long and hard. Consider it as a physical as well as a mental challenge.Prepare accordingly. </p>
<p>Stories of students who party all night and then ace the test the next day are circulated by dubious individuals to reduce competition. Don’t fall for this ploy.</p>
<p>Just stay cool and relaxed. Definitely get at least 7 hours of sleep and bring a juice or two to drink during the breaks. And keep your mind concentrated on the test and you shouldn’t have any problems other than a sore back for the rest of the day after the test.
At least I had one because the chair I was sitting in and the table weren’t proportionate to each other. The chair was pretty large while the table was small and we had to bend down to do the test.</p>
<p>Since I’m homeschooled and live in England, I’m taking the test at a center far from where I live, and I haven’t been there before. What time should I arrive at the center?</p>
