How is the SAT Organized?

The SAT is organized into 10 individually tested sections:

• 3 Writing
• 3 Critical Reading
• 3 Math
• 1 Equating (does not count toward your score).

1. The Essay always comes FIRST (SAT Section 1).
2. Next, six 25-minute multiple choice sections in random order (SAT Sections 2-7): Two Critical Reading, two Math, one Writing, and (usually) the Equating section.
3. Then two 20 minute sections (SAT Sections 8 & 9): Critical Reading and Math.
4. Finally, a 10 minute Writing section is always LAST (SAT Section 10).

The chart below shows you the total number of each question type for each SAT subject.
