SAT Reasoning Test

The SAT Reasoning Test quantifies your critical thinking ability; a skill you'll need for academic success in college. The SAT Reasoning Test includes Critical Reading, Math, and Writing sections and it is scored on a scale of 200 to 800, with two writing subscores for multiple-choice and the essay.

SAT Reading Section

The SAT Reading Section is designed to assess (200-800) your knowledge of critical reading and sentence level reading through short and long passages, sentence completion, and passage-based reading questions. The SAT Reading Section takes 70 minutes.

SAT Writing Section

The SAT Writing Section takes 60 minutes. In the SAT Writing Section students must show their skills in grammar, usage, and word choice by providing answers to the multiple choice questions and by writing an essay (score: 200-800).

SAT Math Section

The SAT Math Section of the SAT test is designed to assess (200-800) your skills in numbers and operations, algebra and function, geometry, statistics, probability, and data analysis through multiple choice and descriptive questions (calculate the answer). The SAT Math Section also takes 70 minutes.

SAT Unscored Section

In addition to the SAT Math, Reading, Reasoning, and Writing sections there is one 25-minute unscored section, known as the variable or equating section. This unscored section may be either a critical reading, math, or writing multiple-choice section. This unscored section does not count toward the final score, but is used to try out new questions for future editions of the SAT and to ensure that scores on new editions of the SAT are comparable to scores on earlier editions of the test.
