SAT I Test Structure
The SAT I test consists
of a Verbal and a Math section.
The
Verbal section includes three different type of questions: Sentence
completion, analogy questions and critical reading questions.
The Math section includes three type of questions: multiple-choice questions,
quantitative comparison questions and grid-in questions, also called
student-produced responses.
The SAT I test includes an extra section called Equating section that
could be either verbal or math. This section consists of 30 questions
and it will not count towards your final score. It is used to try new
questions for future editions of the SAT I and to help make sure that
your test scores are comparable to scores on other editions of the SAT
I. You will not be able to tell which section this is, so you have to
do your best in all of the sections.
