SAT Preparation
Developed by the College Board, the SAT measures academic achievement and critical thinking.
The digital SAT is two hours and 14 minutes – split between a Reading and Writing section and a Math section. Each section contains two stage adaptive modules. Your performance on the first module will dictate the difficulty of the second module. Unlike the previous 3-hour paper-and-pencil SAT, students can take the test on their own laptop or tablet or school-issued device at school or an approved testing center. The test is administered through the College Board’s Bluebook app.
The SAT is accepted by all US colleges and universities; Public schools in Connecticut require all juniors to sit for the SATs.
The SAT: Test Overview
- Reading and Writing (54 questions, 64 minutes)
