Is the SAT right for you?
While you might think that the SAT and ACT® are similar– they’re not! The two are very different tests that you should research thoroughly before deciding.
Take practice SATs and ACT®s
Baseline scores for the SAT and ACT® help students to determine which test is the best fit for them.
We proctor practice tests almost every Sunday of the year at 9:30am and 1:30pm (ET) online and in-person in our Bethesda office. We also offer an additional weekday time during the summer. Sign up today!
Determine the best test for you
While there are several factors that go into your choice of test, you can use our SAT and ACT® conversion tool to understand how the scores compare. Schedule a free consultation with a tutor to review your baseline scores and better understand which test will be best for you. Our tutors weigh your unique skillset, experience taking the practice tests, the current format of the tests, and several other factors to help you decide which test to focus on.
What is the structure of the SAT?
The digital SAT has two sections: Reading & Writing and Math.
Students have 64 minutes to complete the Reading & Writing section and 70 minutes to complete the math section. Totaling to a total test time of 2 hours and 14 minutes.
What to expect from the SAT Reading Section:
The Reading & Writing section presents short reading passages that are followed by multiple-choice questions. The questions are from one of four domains: craft and structure, information and ideas, standard English conventions, and the expression of ideas.
What to expect from the SAT Math Section:
The SAT Math Section focuses on Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Datta Analysis, and Geometry and Trigonometry. These are the areas of math that play the biggest role in college and career success.
