How the new S.A.T. is Structured
How the new S.A.T. is Structured
The test is now digital, composed of just two main sections: Reading and Writing & Math.
The test is now broken into two modules per section.
Module 1: Everyone gets a mix of easy, medium, and hard questions.
Module 2: The questions you receive in the second module are based on your performance in the first module. If you perform well, you'll get a harder second module. If you don't, you'll get an easier second module. This adaptive nature is why the test is shorter and provides a more precise score.
The entire test is significantly shorter than the old paper version with a total test time of 2 hours and 14 minutes.
Reading and Writing: 64 minutes (two 32-minute modules)
10-minute break
Math: 70 minutes (two 35-minute modules)
Essential SAT Test-Taking Strategies
Essential SAT Test-Taking Strategies
Reading section: Read the passage for the main idea first, then read the questions. When a question asks you to cite evidence, read the lines referenced and the sentences around them. This helps you understand the context and find the correct answer.
Writing and Language section: Look for the most concise answer. The shortest answer that is grammatically correct is often the right one. Pay attention to punctuation, verb tense, and subject-verb agreement.
Math section: Show your work, even on the multiple-choice problems. Draw diagrams or pictures to help you visualize the problem. On the calculator-allowed section, use your calculator efficiently. On the no-calculator section, look for shortcuts and algebraic solutions instead of trying to compute large numbers.
