The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is the nation’s oldest and mostly widely used standardized testing system for college admission. The test is designed to have students use the critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills they have developed over the course of their schooling. It is the number one indicator of college readiness, in addition to high school grades.
The SAT is a three hour and forty-five minute exam, consisting of nine sections including an essay. Each section is timed separately. One of the sections is ungraded and consists of new and experimental material for future editions of the SAT. It is not indicated anywhere on the test which section is the variable section, so it is best to treat every section of the test as though it is being fully graded.
