SAT format & timing

Provide an undergraduate admissions test score where requested or useful.

What the test involves

Two sections each contain two modules. The second module adapts to performance in the first.

Reading and writing

64 minutes

54 tasks

Math

70 minutes

44 questions

Testing time is 2 hours 14 minutes, with a 10-minute break between the two sections.

Scores and what happens next

  • A short fixed quiz cannot model an adaptive SAT score.
  • A university’s test policy can change by intake; a score never replaces its other entry requirements.
