SAT Syllabus
The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. It assesses your knowledge in two main areas: Reading & Writing and Math.
Structure of the Test
The digital SAT consists of two sections, each divided into two modules. The first is Reading and Writing, which combines questions that were previously in separate sections. The second is Math. The test is adaptive; your performance on the first module of each section determines the difficulty of the questions in the second module. This format is designed to measure your skills more efficiently.
