About SAT Test

For the writing section, the test evaluates punctuation and grammatical skills, and the logic behind your ideas. Data analysis skills and real-world problem-solving skills are crucial for the SAT math section.
All the section of the SAT work together to evaluate two main things,

Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
The SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section comprises of 2 tests that are evaluated differently but related knowledge and skills. The Reading Test measures your ability on how well you understand what you read, whereas the Writing and Language Test wants you to revise and edit text.
The Reading Test contains a total of 52 multiple choice questions based on passage reading, which you have to complete in 65 minutes. The reading questions often include references to direct you to the relevant parts of the passages.
In the reading test, you will read the passages and interpret information from the graphics and use them to answer the questions. You need to have a complete understanding of the author’s words and implied graphics data.
Reading test includes passages of about 500 to 700 words with varying complexities. You will analyze, synthesize, and interpret data from charts, tables, graphs, and multi-paragraph passages in the areas including:
- Literature (classic or contemporary)
- The humanities
- History and social studies
- Science
- Work and career
The SAT reading test focuses on the command of evidence. During the reading test for every passage, you will see at least one question that will ask you to identify which part of the text supports the answer in the best possible way. In other instances, you need to find out the solution based on the information conveyed in graphics and words.
The SAT Writing and Language Test requires you to improve passages that were written primarily for the exam with deliberate errors. It contains a total of 44 passage-based multiple choice questions which are needed to be completed in the allotted time of 35 minutes. During writing tests, you will be asked to do things people do all the time when they edit i.e. read, find errors and weaknesses, and fix them up. The SAT here ensures that you follow the standard conventions of English grammar, usage, and punctuation.
Besides, the SAT checks your ability to express your ideas. It may ask you about topic development, organization, and use of language for the given passage.
