The SAT consists of two main sections: Reading and Writing and Math. The total time to complete the assessment is 2 hours and 14 minutes.

Each section is divided into two equally timed modules, with a 10-minute break between the Reading and Writing section and the Math section. The first module includes a mix of easy, medium, and difficult questions. Your performance on the first module determines whether the second module will be more or less challenging.

Most questions are multiple choice, but some Math questions require you to enter a response instead of selecting an answer.
