Hey everyone! I've been going over my SAT practice, and I was wondering, how many questions are on the actual SAT exam? It'd help me pace myself better.
Hello! The SAT, as of spring 2024 when it went fully digital, consists of 98 questions split between the Reading, Writing, and Math sections. Here's a brief breakdown:
1. Reading and Writing: Two modules which take 32 minutes each, during which you'll address a total of 54 questions. This means you'll have approximately 71 seconds per question.
2. Math: Two modules which take 35 minutes each, during which you'll answer a total of 44 questions. You'll have about 96 seconds per question, or slightly over a minute and a half.
So, all put together, the total duration of the digital SAT is approximately 134 minutes. However, remember to also account for breaks between sections during your practice sessions to mirror the actual test conditions! Happy studying.
