What"s On the SAT?

The SAT test is more than one big test; it’s a compilation of smaller, timed segments that are subdivided in the following sections.

Each SAT test section is worth between 200 and 800 points, so if you’re a brainiac, you have the chance of scoring a 2400. If you’re like the rest of us, a typical SAT test score lies somewhere in the 1500-1600 range.
