SAT FORMAT
The SAT is a 2 hour and 14 minute long test which includes a 10 minute break. The exam is objective in nature, mostly multiple-choice, and some grid-in questions where you need to write down the answer. The exam is divided into two sections - Reading and Writing section, and a Math section. Each section has two modules of equal time and equal number of questions.
The first module of the section contains a broad mix of easy, medium, and hard questions. Based on how students perform on the first module, the second module of questions will either be more difficult or less difficult. The order of questions is random, and your test will be different from that of the person sitting next to you.
The SAT sections are broken down like this :
