SAT COACHING FORMAT WILL FOLLOW BELOW STRUCTURE:

 

SAT general incorporates three sections – Evidence Based Reading & Writing (EBRW) and Mathematics & Essay. As Essay part is optional, it’s up to you to do the Essay or not. Let’s take you through the SAT scoring blueprint:

 

S.No	Sections	Scoring Range
1	Evidence Based Reading (Reading)	200-800
2	Writing & Language (Language)
3	Math	200-800
4	Essay (Optional)	2-8

 

Let’s decode the EWRW & Math Level 1 into the sub-sections according to the duration of test.

 

TestprepKart experts suggest you to examine the websites of your prospective colleges and finalize your decision.

 

S.No	Sections	No. Of Questions	Time (in minutes)
1	Evidence Based Reading (Reading)	52	65
2	Writing & Language (Language)	44	35
3	Math (No Claculator)	20	25
4	Math (Calculator)	38	55
5	Essay (Optional)	1	50
	Total	154 Questions & 1 Essay	3 Hours (Apart from Essay) 3 Hours, 50 Minutes (with Essay)

 

Now, you can see that the Evidence Based Reading & Writing (EBRW) is divided into two subsections (Reading and Writing & Language) & Math is divided into two subsections (Maths No Calculator & Maths Calculator).

 

You get 2 interval sessions while taking the SAT. That is, one after the Writing & Language sub-section and one after the Math Level 1 (No Calculator) session.

 

Let’s decode all the subsections of general SAT – Reading, Writing & Language, Math (No Calculator) and Math (Calculator) & Essay sessions successively.

 

 

READING SECTION OVERVIEW:

 

SAT Reading section is the longest section and there’s only 65 minutes to answer this section. Special focus will be given for SAT Reading section during SAT Coaching Program.

 

The Reading section is passage-based and each passage has 10-12 multiple-choice questions (A, B, C & D). You’ll be facing 5 comprehensive passages in this section – One from US/World Literature, Two from History/Social Studies and the last Two from Science.

 

Some passages accompany bars/graphs/charts according to the passage. Indeed, you will deal with tables/graphs in all the four sections of the SAT.

 

College Board often takes these comprehensive passages from prose or selections from fictional narratives.

 

After accomplishing the Reading section, you’ll get 5 minutes break.
