SAT test includes 3 main parts: Maths, Critical Reading and Writing. Each section is marked between 200 and 800. The total score is equal to the sum up of each section’s score times 10. The whole test is about 4 hours.
The SAT critical reading section gives you a chance to show how well you understand what you read. There are two types of multiple-choice questions in the critical reading section:
- Sentence completion questions test your vocabulary and your understanding of sentence structure. (19 questions)
- Passage-based reading questions test your comprehension of what is stated in or implied by the passage, not your prior knowledge of the topic. (48 questions)
The mathematics section of the SAT contains two types of questions:
- Multiple-choice questions (44 questions)
- Student-produced response questions appear without answer choices. You'll use your answer sheet to "grid in" your solution. (10 questions)
The SAT test begins with an essay. You'll be asked to present and support a point of view on a specific issue. Because you have only 25 minutes, your essay is not expected to be polished.
The SAT writing section also includes three types of multiple-choice questions:
- Improving sentences (25 questions)
- Identifying sentence errors (18 questions)
- Improving paragraphs (6 questions)
