Hey! So I'm trying to mentally prepare for the SAT test day and I was curious about how long the test takes with breaks included. Anyone know?
Hey! The digital SAT consists of four sections (modules)—two Reading and Writing modules and two Math modules—along with breaks. Here's a rundown of the test day schedule:
1. Reading and Writing Module 1: 32 minutes
2. Reading and Writing Module 2: 32 minutes
3. 10-minute Break
4. Math Module 1: 35 minutes
5. Math Module 2: 35 minutes
Adding up the time for each module and breaks, the total time spent on the SAT test day, including breaks, is 144 minutes or around 2 hours and 24 minutes. However, you should also factor in time spent on check-in procedures at the testing center, which can vary but typically takes around 30 minutes. So, in total, you can expect to spend around 3 hours at the testing center. Good luck with your test prep and on test day!
