Preparation Guide for Taking an In-Person Mock SAT

– Mock Testing at Edison Prep –

Pre-Arrival

Edison Prep is proctoring this practice digital SAT in the same way your school likely will: on your student’s device. Please ensure that your student has created their College Board account and successfully installed the Bluebook app on their device before they arrive to test. Questions on how to do that? Consult our handy Bluebook Guide if needed! Students must also know their College Board login AND password.

Our proctors can guide students with the app while testing, but Edison Prep can neither create College Board accounts for students nor provide them with devices, so please come prepared to test!

Arrival

Tests will begin on time. For a smooth testing experience and to avoid potentially needing to reschedule, please make sure your student has installed the BlueBook App as described above!

What to Bring

  • College Board log-in information (username and password)
  • A fully charged laptop such as a Mac laptop, PC laptop, or school-issued Chromebook. Not allowed: Personal Chromebooks (non-school-issued Chromebooks) or iPads. The dSAT practice test will technically work on an iPad but is not ideal; it’s an inferior device on which to take the real exam.
  • Those who are most cautious will avoid Chromebooks if the family has any Windows or Mac PC available. Chromebooks  sometimes have lockdown security measures installed by the student’s high school that prevents them from successfully taking the test at our office or the real exam, to say nothing of smaller screens, slower processors, etc that Chromebooks have.
