Network Checklist

Ask the test coordinator how many students are testing at the same time and which rooms they plan to use.

Look up Bluebook bandwidth requirements and make sure your network can support all simultaneous test takers.

Compare the expected number of test takers in each room to the device capacity of wireless access points (WAPs) within range.

Students must use the Wi-Fi managed by the school or test center, and SAT Weekend test centers must allow any student to test on their personal device. You may need to set up a guest network to accommodate staff and students, including those unaffiliated with your school.  

Let required traffic bypass security appliances and software.

Check network configuration, throttle or delay backups, and provide the test coordinator with network passwords and test day contact info.
