The SAT also offers a fourth, optional section known as the Essay portion of the exam. The SAT will start between 8:30 AM to 9:00 AM and end around 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM depending on if you were to opt-in for the Essay portion of the test. You will be permitted to have one 10 minute break and one 5 minute break. We will now discuss what you can expect the test to cover in further detail.

The Writing and Language section will have 44 questions you will need to answer. You will have 35 minutes to complete this section. All questions in this section will be multiple-choice.

You will be required to write your own essay where you will decipher the author's persuasive abilities and argument. You do not need to agree with the author's point of view.
