Each edition of the SAT includes a Verbal and Math section, with a specific number of questions related to content. The question types and number of questions in each section are listed below.
The Verbal Section
The verbal section of the SAT focuses on critical reading with more than half of the verbal test devoted to passage-based reading questions. The verbal test also includes analogies and sentence completions, which emphasize logical relationship, vocabulary, and how words relate.
Content | Number of Questions | Time |
---|---|---|
Vocabulary in Context | 4-7 | Two 30-minute sections plus one 15-minute section |
Literal Comprehension | 4-5 | |
Extended Reasoning | 28-32 | |
Other Verbal Questions | ||
Humanities | 8-12 | |
Social Sciences | 8-12 | |
Natural Sciences | 8-12 | |
Human Relationships | 8-12 | |
Total | 78 | 75 minutes |
The Math Section
The math section measures mathematical problem solving and covers arithmetic, algebra, and geometry using student-produced responses (grid-ins), quantitative comparison questions, and multiple choice questions.
Content | Number of Questions | Time |
---|---|---|
Arithmetic Reasoning | 18-19 | Two 30-minute sections plus one 15-minute section |
Algebraic Reasoning | 17-19 | |
Geometric Reasoning | 16-18 | |
Miscellaneous Reasoning | 6-7 | |
Total | 60 | 75 minutes |
The Unscored Section
In addition, there is one 30-minute unscored section, known as the variable or equating section. This unscored section may be either a verbal or math section. This section does not count toward the final score, but is used to try out new questions for future editions of the SAT and to ensure that scores on new editions of the SAT are comparable to scores on earlier editions of the test.
