About SAT*
Purpose
The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. The College Board administers the SAT. It’s purpose is to assess a student’s readiness for college-level work in reading, writing, and mathematics. According to the College Board, more than 1.97 million students in 2024 have taken the SAT at least once. Colleges and universities use SAT scores, along with other factors like high school GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays, to make admissions decisions.
Sections
The digital SAT is composed of two sections: Reading and Writing and Math. The Reading and Writing section analyzes passages from literature, science, and social studies, as well as grammar and punctuation. The Math section covers algebra, data analysis, problem-solving, and some geometry and trigonometry.
Each section is divided into two modules of equal length, with a 10-minute break between sections. Students have 64 minutes to complete the Reading and Writing section and 70 minutes to complete the Math section for a total of 2 hours and 14 minutes.
The test is adaptive. The first module of each section contains a mix of easy, medium, and hard questions. However, the difficulty level of the second module is determined by the performance on the first module.
Scoring
The SAT total score ranges from 400 to 1600 – It’s the sum of your scores from the two main sections: Reading/Writing and Math. Each of the two main sections, Reading/Writing and Math, is scored on a scale of 200 to 800. The digital SAT uses an adaptive test design. There’s no penalty for incorrect answers, so it’s always best to answer every question.
