SAT
Digital SAT
"The SAT is composed of two sections: (1) the Reading and Writing section, and (2) the Math section.
You have 64 minutes to complete the Reading and Writing section and 70 minutes to complete the Math section for a total of 2 hours and 14 minutes. Each section is divided into 2 equal length modules, and there is a 10-minute break between the Reading and Writing section and the Math section. The first module of each section contains a broad mix of easy, medium, and hard questions.
Based on how you perform on the first module, the second module of questions will either be more difficult or less difficult." -College Board
Reading & Writing: 64 (two 32-minute modules) minutes, 54 Questions/Tasks
Math: 70 (two 35-minute modules) minutes, 44 Questions/Tasks
Total: 134 Minutes, 98 Questions/Tasks
Reading & Writing Section
"The Reading and Writing section presents short reading passages (or passage pairs) followed by a single multiple-choice question.
Questions on the Reading and Writing section represent one of four content domains -Craft and Structure, Information and Ideas, Standard English Conventions, and Expression of Ideas.
To help you budget your time, questions that test similar skills and knowledge are grouped together and arranged from easiest to hardest. The test is divided into 2 modules, each of which includes questions from all four different domains.
The passages in the Reading and Writing section range from 25 to 150 words.
Passages represent the subject areas of literature, history/social studies, the humanities, and science." -College Board
Math Section
"The Math section focuses on the areas of math that play the biggest role in college and career success:
- Algebra
- Advanced Math
- Problem-Solving and Data Analysis
- Geometry and Trigonometry
Like the Reading and Writing section, the Math section is divided into 2 modules.
Over the course of the Math section, you'll answer multiple-choice and student-produced response questions that measure your fluency with, understanding of, and ability to apply the math concepts, skills and practices that are most essential. Approximately 30% of Math questions are set in context. These in-context ("word") questions require you to consider a science, social studies, or real-world scenario and apply your math skills and knowledge, along with an understanding of the context, to determine the answer to each. The math questions are divided into four categories. Questions from all four categories appear in each test module. Across each module, questions are arranged from easiest to hardest, allowing you to have the best opportunity to demonstrate what you know and can do" -College Board
