What device to track time during SATS?

[Anonymous]

Can they use a stopwatch and set it to count down the appropriate amount of time?

No

DS’s non-smart digital watch has this stopwatch function. Not been a problem so far.

Using it is a violation. Yes, it’s possible your kid won’t get caught and escorted out. It’s still against the rules to use timers or stopwatches on the SAT..

I don’t teach my kid to cheat, but you do you.

I am really surprised that this is even a question.

That’s why pps are asking what the rules are. No one has said non smart digital watches are a violation. A violation of what? It would be hard to find a digital watch without a timer or stop watch function. Please show the rule being violated.

What’s the rule or definition of “standard watch”? Only analog?

I’m more surprised college board doesn’t have a clear answer.

I am PP. I proctor the test. The rule is that using a timer or stopwatch is forbidden. Maybe you can have one. I don’t know. But if you used it, as the PP I responded to suggested, and you got caught, you would be escorted out.

“Simple digital non-smart watches” are permitted.
“Separate timers” are forbidden.
My kid’s $10 Casio digital watch (“simple digital watch”) has an integrated timer function.
Therefore, kid can use timer function on his simple digital watch.

When in doubt, READ THE RULE. The rule says that a “SEPARATE timer or stopwatch” is forbidden. Non-smart, silent digital watches are acceptable. The rule does not exclude a simple digital watch that comes with stopwatch functions.
