Can anyone tell me how long the new SAT is? I want to plan my studying and test-taking strategies accordingly. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The new SAT, which has gone fully digital as of Spring 2024, has a different structure compared to the old one. Here's the breakdown of the sections and duration:
1. Reading and Writing: This section is divided into two 32-minute modules, which consist of a total of 54 questions. You'll have approximately 71 seconds per question.
2. Math: This section is also split into two 35-minute modules, with a total of 44 questions. You have 96 seconds per question, which is a little over a minute and a half.
In total, the digital SAT takes 134 minutes to complete 98 questions. Keep in mind that you'll also want to account for breaks and any additional time for instructions when planning your test-taking strategies.
Good luck with your preparation, and I hope this helps!
