How the SAT Is Structured
Component | Time Allotted (minutes) | Number of Questions/Tasks |
---|---|---|
Reading | 65 | 52 |
Writing and Language | 35 | 44 |

Total | 180 | 154 |
Most of the questions are multiple choice, though some of the math questions ask you to write in the answer rather than select it.
On all questions, there’s no penalty for guessing: if you’re not sure of the answer, it’s better to guess than leave the response blank.
