What to Expect on the SAT

The SAT has two main parts:

  1. Reading and Writing – 64 minutes total
  2. Math – 70 minutes total
    That’s 2 hours and 14 minutes altogether.

Each part is split into two equal modules. After the Reading and Writing section, you’ll get a 10-minute break before starting Math.

The first module of each section includes a mix of easy, medium, and hard questions. Based on how you do, the second module will adjust—questions may get harder or easier.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

Section Time Questions
Reading & Writing 64 min (2 x 32) 54
Math 70 min (2 x 35) 44
Total 134 min 98
