SAT Information from Amanda Kussmaul
What specifically does the SAT test? There are 3 SAT sections–Math, Critical Reading, and Writing. The Writing section includes an essay that is not optional. From start to finish, the test will take 3 hours and 45 minutes.
Most students take the SAT during the spring of their junior year of high school. Many students choose to take the SAT a second time in the fall of their senior year after becoming familiar with the test day experience.
