When does the SAT test usually end?

Hey guys, I'm taking the SAT soon and I'm trying to plan my day. Does anyone know around what time the SAT is typically over?

Hello! The SAT test typically begins around 8:00 AM, and the duration of the test varies depending on whether or not you are taking the Essay section. If you are only taking the main SAT sections (Reading, Writing and Language, and Math), the test will take approximately 3 hours, which means you should be done by 11:00 AM or shortly after. However, if you're taking the test with the Essay section, the total testing time is around 3 hours and 50 minutes, putting the end time closer to 12:00 PM. Keep in mind that these times might vary slightly depending on administrative and procedural matters at your testing center, such as distributing materials and giving instructions. It's always a good idea to have some flexibility in your schedule after the test, in case it takes a bit longer than expected. Good luck on your SAT!
