How the SAT works?

The SAT lasts 3 hours and 45 minutes and tests your critical thinking skills, as well as your ability to analyze and solve problems in math, critical reading, and writing. The 25-minute essay will always be the first section you see, and the 10-minute multiplechoice writing section will always be the last. The other sections can appear in any order.

The SAT is graded on a 2400-point scale, with the Math, Critical Reading and Writing sections all worth 200-800 points each.
