The SAT is a measure of the critical thinking skills that are needed for academic success in college. As a single standardized test, the SAT helps college admissions representatives make acceptance decisions. The SAT has ten sections - three Math sections, three Critical Reading sections, three Writing sections, and one variable section in math, critical reading, or writing multiple-choice. The variable section is used to help make sure that the student scores are comparable to scores on other editions of the SAT. This section does not count toward the final score. The total test time (not including breaks) is 3 hours and 45 minutes.
