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)
- Math (44 questions, 70 minutes)
At Carnegie Prep, we are committed to recognizing the potential of each student. We get to know students as individuals, building confidence and setting the stage for academic and personal success, in the classroom and on standardized tests. Teachers and tutors work on building students’ confidence and knowledge of key concepts and strategies as well as preparing for how to pace themselves on standardized tests. Using a team approach, we offer students the flexibility of one-to-one assistance and full courses, knowing that for many students a blended approach may work best. Read more about our approach.
