When are the breaks during the SAT?

This might sound like a silly question, but I need to know when the breaks are scheduled during the SAT so I can plan when to eat a snack and stuff. I'd appreciate any info on that!

No problem at all! It's a great idea to plan your breaks and snacks to keep your energy levels up. Here's the breakdown of breaks during the digital SAT:

1. First Break: After completing the first Reading and Writing module (32 minutes), you'll have a 10-minute break.

2. Second Break: After finishing the second Reading and Writing module (32 minutes) and the first Math module (35 minutes), you'll have a 5-minute break.

So, in summary, you'll have a 10-minute break after the first Reading and Writing module, and a 5-minute break after the second Reading and Writing module and the first Math module. The total duration of the digital SAT is 134 minutes, which includes two modules of 32-minute Reading and Writing sections and two modules of 35-minute Math sections.

It's a good idea to have a snack during the first 10-minute break and stay hydrated throughout the test. Make sure to bring some water and easy-to-consume snacks like granola bars, fruit, or nuts. Good luck on your SAT!
