Avoid bringing devices with prohibited functions such as word processing, wireless connectivity, or the ability to store data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare your personal computer:<\/strong>\u00a0Candidates must bring their own computers, absolutely not share or borrow other people&#039;s computers in the exam room. Because they will ensure fairness and avoid being reminded or handled by the invigilator for violations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check your equipment before the exam day:<\/strong>\u00a0Make sure your computer is in good working order, has a full battery, and is not damaged or has a faulty screen. The test center will not provide a spare device if a computer fails.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No electronic accessories:<\/strong>\u00a0Including chargers, headphones, connecting cables, or memory cards. Only single handheld computers are allowed, in accordance with regulations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#039;t rely too much on computers<\/strong>: Many SAT Math questions can be solved quickly with tricks or mental math. Overusing a calculator can sometimes waste your time and slow you down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get familiar with computers during practice:<\/strong>\u00a0Before the official exam, candidates should practice on the device they will bring into the exam room. Familiarity with the operation will help increase processing speed and reduce mistakes when taking the test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Some frequently asked questions about the SAT exam<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>1. Can I bring 2 calculators into the exam room?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Yes. You are allowed to bring two calculators into the SAT testing room.<\/strong>\u00a0However, only one device may be used at a time, and both devices must comply with College Board regulations. The backup device must be placed under the chair, not in a bag. If you need to change devices during the test, you must raise your hand and ask the proctor for permission.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Are calculators available for rent in the exam room (in case of computer failure, dead battery, etc.)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>No. The test center does not provide spare computers, nor does it support borrowing devices under any circumstances.<\/strong>\u00a0If your calculator fails, runs out of battery, or otherwise becomes unusable, you will have to continue the test without it. Therefore, check your device carefully and bring a full battery pack before you go to the test room.<\/p>\n<p>Using a calculator on the SAT is perfectly acceptable, but you must follow the equipment guidelines to avoid affecting your test results. Choosing the right calculator will not only help you do your test effectively, but also ensure that you comply with testing room regulations.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/en\/khoa-hoc\/luyen-thi-sat\/\"><strong>SAT test center<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0reputation,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/en\/\"><strong>ETEST English for Study Abroad<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a reliable choice thanks to its in-depth training program and effective teaching methods.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31064\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31064\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31064\" src=\"https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/thi-sat-co-duoc-dung-may-tinh-khong-5.jpg\" alt=\"Anh Ng\u1eef Du H\u1ecdc ETEST - Trung t\u00e2m luy\u1ec7n thi SAT uy t\u00edn\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/thi-sat-co-duoc-dung-may-tinh-khong-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/thi-sat-co-duoc-dung-may-tinh-khong-5-615x400.jpg 615w, https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/thi-sat-co-duoc-dung-may-tinh-khong-5-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/thi-sat-co-duoc-dung-may-tinh-khong-5-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31064\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ETEST English for Study Abroad - Prestigious SAT test preparation center<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The SAT test preparation course at ETEST Study Abroad English has many outstanding advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Personalized learning path:<\/strong>\u00a0Tailored to each student based on entry level ability and specific score goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Small class size:<\/strong>\u00a0Limited to only 6 students\/class, ensuring maximum interaction between teacher and students.<\/li>\n<li><strong>High quality teachers<\/strong>: Taught by test prep experts, including a record holder with a perfect score of 1600\/1600 on the SAT, and teachers who graduated from top US Ivy League universities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>International standard curriculum:<\/strong>\u00a0Compiled from leading test preparation organizations, updated according to test format\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/en\/digital-sat\/\">Digital SAT<\/a>\u00a0Latest from College Board.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bloom&#039;s Taxonomy Learning Method:<\/strong>\u00a0Helps students develop language skills, analytical thinking and comprehensive test-taking strategies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice systematically with authentic exam questions<\/strong>: Large test bank, closely following the actual structure with full Reading - Writing and Math skills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free 1:1 tutoring:\u00a0<\/strong>In-depth personalized support during the learning process, helping to promptly address each student&#039;s weaknesses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Free Digital SAT Practice Test:\u00a0<\/strong>Free mock test to help students get familiar with the test format and practice timing skills.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scholarship essay writing support:<\/strong>\u00a0Guidance on writing essays and building study abroad profiles to maximize your chances of admission and scholarship.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impressive output commitment:<\/strong>\u00a0ETEST English for Study Abroad commits to increase to 200+\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/en\/thang-diem-sat\/\">SAT score<\/a>\u00a0after each intensive course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>Sign up for SAT test preparation course at\u00a0<strong>ETEST English for Study Abroad<\/strong>\u00a0today to get ready to score high and conquer the world&#039;s top universities!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/demo.puramu.dev\/en\/khoa-hoc\/luyen-thi-sat\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary is-outline\"  style=\"border-radius:10px;\">\n    <span>Digital SAT Course<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;31059&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;\u0110\u00e1nh gi\u00e1 b\u00e0i vi\u1ebft&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Thi SAT c\u00f3 \u0111\u01b0\u1ee3c d\u00f9ng m\u00e1y t\u00ednh kh\u00f4ng?
