SAT Test Content

Hey guys, I've been studying for the SAT and I'd like to know what's on the test. What sections does it have and what kind of questions should I expect?

Hey there! The SAT consists of two main sections: Reading and Writing, and Math. They've transitioned to a digital format recently, so let me break down each section and the types of questions you'll encounter:

1. Reading and Writing: You'll be given passages from different genres (literature, history, social studies, and natural sciences) and accompanying questions. The questions will test your comprehension, understanding of the author's viewpoints, and your ability to analyze and interpret the text. Some questions will test your understanding of grammar rules, punctuation, and sentence structure. You'll be given passages with some parts underlined or bolded. The questions will ask you to correct or improve the passage based on grammar, vocabulary, and writing style.

This section has two 32-minute modules, with a total of 54 questions.

2. Math: The Math section tests your skills in algebra, problem-solving, data analysis, and some advanced math topics, such as geometry, trigonometry, and complex equations. There's an emphasis on applying math concepts to real-world situations and understanding the logic behind mathematical concepts. There are two 35-minute modules, with a total of 44 questions.

On the digital SAT, you can use a calculator for both math modules. In total, the exam takes 134 minutes to complete 98 questions.

As you prepare for the SAT, consider taking full-length practice tests to familiarize yourself with the content, format, and types of questions you'll see. The Bluebook™ app is a great resource, as it allows you to preview the digital SAT and take a practice test. Good luck with your studying!
