Hey guys! I'm a bit stressed about taking the SAT soon, and I just wanted to know how much time I'll have to complete the test. Can anyone tell me the time limit for the various sections? Your help is greatly appreciated!
Hey there! Don't worry; I'm here to help! The digital SAT is structured as follows:
1. Reading and Writing: You'll have two 32-minute modules to answer a total of 54 questions. You'll have about 71 seconds per question.
2. Math: There are again two modules, each lasting 35 minutes, to answer 44 questions. You'll have approximately 96 seconds per question, or a bit over one-and-a-half minutes.
The total duration of the digital SAT is 134 minutes, during which you'll have to complete 98 questions.
Make sure to practice with this timing in mind, so you can get a better sense of how to pace yourself during the actual test. Remember, diligent practice and familiarizing yourself with the test format is key to reducing stress and performing well. To start, I'd recommend checking out the Bluebook app, where you can access a practice test and start familiarizing yourself with the pacing of the SAT.
Good luck!
