Preparing Students for Test Day

Before testing begins, it's important to make sure your students feel prepared for what to expect.

  • Practice: Students can access free, official practice resources, including full-length Bluebook practice tests, study activities, and tips to build confidence on test day, in our practice hub. For ideas on how you can support your students as they practice, visit Practice Resources for Educators.
  • Digital Readiness Check: Schools administering the SAT and PSAT-related assessments will complete a digital readiness check prior to testing. In these sessions, students will get familiar with the Bluebook testing application, confirm their personal information is correct, and verify that their devices are ready for test day.
  • What Students Should and Should Not Bring on Test Day: There are lists of what students are expected to bring, what they may choose to bring, and what they’re prohibited from bringing on test day.
  • Introducing BigFuture School: BigFuture School is a free mobile app for students aged 13 and older who take the PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or SAT School Day in the United States. It's designed for students to use to get their test scores quickly, get help on planning for college and career, and learn about financial aid and scholarships. Learn how to support your students with BigFuture School.
