Choose your test

All tests in the SAT Suite share the same structure and timing. Score scales, the Math domain mix and some Math skills differ.

SAT

Usually taken in grades 11–12 · total 400–1600 · sections 200–800

Math per test: Algebra 13–15, Advanced Math 13–15, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis 5–7, Geometry and Trigonometry 5–7

PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10

Usually taken in grades 10–11 · total 320–1520 · sections 160–760

Math per test: Algebra 13–15, Advanced Math 12–14, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis 7–9, Geometry and Trigonometry 4–6

The PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 guides do not list Circles or Evaluating statistical claims.

PSAT 8/9

For grades 8 and 9 · total 240–1440 · sections 120–720

Math per test: Algebra 16–18, Advanced Math 7–9, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis 9–11, Geometry 4–6

The PSAT 8/9 guide lists this Math domain as Geometry (area and volume; lines, angles and triangles, including right triangles) and does not list trigonometry, circles, inference from sample statistics or evaluating statistical claims.

Resources

Sections: Reading and Writing, then Math, each split into two equal-length, separately timed modules
Reading and Writing: 2 modules × 32 minutes; 27 questions each (25 operational + 2 unscored pretest); 54 total
Math: 2 modules × 35 minutes; 22 questions each (20 operational + 2 unscored pretest); 44 total
Total time: About 2 hours 14 minutes of testing (64 min R&W + 70 min Math), with a 10-minute break between the sections
Adaptive: Module 2 in each section has a mix of questions that is, on average, easier or harder, depending on Module 1 performance
Order: R&W questions testing similar skills are grouped together, then arranged easiest to hardest; Math questions run easiest to hardest across each module
Passages: A single question per passage (or passage pair); passages come from literature, history/social studies, the humanities and science; some questions include a table or graph
Math format: About 30% of Math questions are set in context; multiple choice plus student-produced responses; a built-in Desmos calculator is available for the whole Math section
Nonadaptive version: For students approved for certain accommodations (such as paper test forms or a human reader): R&W 2 × 33 questions (39 min each); Math 2 × 27 questions (43 min each)
Scores: SAT 400–1600 (sections 200–800); PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 320–1520 (sections 160–760); PSAT 8/9 240–1440 (sections 120–720)

Standard English Conventions R&W	Boundaries; Form, Structure, and Sense	11–15	11–15	11–15
Expression of Ideas R&W	Rhetorical Synthesis; Transitions	8–12	8–12	8–12
Algebra Math	Linear equations in one variable; Linear equations in two variables; Linear functions; Systems of two linear equations in two variables; Linear inequalities in one or two variables	13–15	13–15	16–18
Advanced Math Math	Equivalent expressions; Nonlinear equations in one variable and systems of equations in two variables; Nonlinear functions	13–15	12–14	7–9
Problem-Solving and Data Analysis Math	Ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and units; Percentages; One-variable data: distributions and measures of center and spread; Two-variable data: models and scatterplots; Probability and conditional probability; Inference from sample statistics and margin of error; Evaluating statistical claims: observational studies and experiments	5–7	7–9	9–11
Geometry and Trigonometry Math	Area and volume; Lines, angles, and triangles; Right triangles and trigonometry; Circles	5–7	4–6	4–6

Skills listed are those for the SAT. The PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10 guides do not list Circles or Evaluating statistical claims. The PSAT 8/9 guide lists this Math domain as Geometry (area and volume; lines, angles and triangles, including right triangles) and does not list trigonometry, circles, inference from sample statistics or evaluating statistical claims. Question distributions are for the adaptive digital tests, across both modules of each section. Summarised from the 2026-27 SAT Suite student guides. Specifications can change each year; check the current guide before test day.
