How is the SAT structured with breaks?

Hey guys, I've been doing a ton of SAT prep and I'm trying to simulate the testing experience as accurately as possible. I know each section has a time limit, but does anyone know exactly how the SAT is structured with its breaks? I want to make sure I'm mentally prepped for the real thing.

Sure, it's a great idea to simulate the testing experience in order to prepare for the real exam. The SAT, since the change to digital in 2024, is divided into four modules: two for Reading and Writing and two for Math.

Here's how the structure of the digital SAT looks including the breaks:

- Module 1: Reading and Writing, 32 minutes

- Short break: 10 minutes

- Module 2: Reading and Writing, 32 minutes

- Extended break: 15 minutes

- Module 3: Math, 35 minutes

- Short break: 10 minutes

- Module 4: Math, 35 minutes

- End of the test

So you have two short breaks of 10 minutes each and an extended break of 15 minutes at around the halfway point. Make sure you use the breaks effectively for quick snacks, water, or restroom visits, as it's a decent amount of testing time to sit through. Also, it's important to note that all of these times are fixed and uniform across all locations where the SAT is taken.

Good luck with your preparation! Remember, practicing with a format similar to the actual test can really help you manage your time effectively on exam day.
