The SAT offers several accommodations, including extended time, extra breaks, and the use of assistive technology such as screen readers or specialized software.

Prepare by thoroughly familiarizing yourself with your approved accommodations, taking full‑length practice tests that replicate those accommodations, and coordinating with your school’s SSD coordinator to confirm all arrangements are in place.

On test day you should bring your admission ticket, a valid photo ID, your SSD eligibility letter, and any approved devices or equipment related to your accommodations.

Use a watch or the test’s built‑in timing tools to track progress, pace yourself across sections, and take advantage of the extra minutes granted by your accommodation.

Plan to use scheduled breaks for rest, snacking, or restroom visits, and if you have ‘breaks as needed,’ clearly notify the proctor when you require a break.

Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or mindfulness, maintain a positive mindset, and focus on each question individually to keep anxiety under control.

Official resources include the College Board Accommodations Overview, the registration page for SAT with accommodations, and the Accommodations and Supports Handbook PDF.
