<p>Were you guys seated alphabetically, in the order that you came in, or chose wherever you sit? I hate sitting in the front because it can get so distracting especially being close to the door the entire test.</p>
<p>I really don’t think it matters - how does being by the door distract you? Anyhow, it’s probably different based upon the location, and there really nothing you can do about it so…</p>
<p>yea for me it wasn’t alphabetical, you choose your seat…the earlier the better.</p>
<p>So far, whenever I’ve taken the SAT or the subject tests, I’ve always been placed randomly. The desks were numbered and I was given a card with a number on it when I came in, and the number corresponded to my desk.</p>
<p>I’m usually in alphabetical order but sometimes it’s just random places. </p>
<p>We usually have the option to switch to an empty spot if we just like it better or something. I usually like to sit in the back, kinda isolated (get distracted easily hahahah) and I like the bigger tables so I usually request to move.</p>
<p>At the test center where I took my subject tests, they gave us randomly assigned seats.</p>
<p>At the one where I took the SAT I, we got to sit wherever we wanted.</p>
<p>I guess there’s not really an official rule about this.</p>
