What is an Equating Section?
The SAT includes an additional experimental or ‘Equating’ section that does not count toward your final score. The Equating section is designed to test out new questions and to compare the performances of current students with those of previous test takers. The Equating section can test any of the three subjects (Critical Reading, Writing, or Math) and usually appears between SAT sections 2 and 7 (the 25 minute multiple choice sections).
Do NOT try to guess which section is the Equating section.
Trying to ‘game’ which section is experimental can get you into real trouble. When taking the SAT, always assume every section counts.
