SAT/PSAT Prep

What to expect on the SAT?

Here at Alpha, we understand that taking the SAT can be very stressful as a high school student. As such, we always try our best to get our students familiarized with the format of the test so they can excel within all of its sections.

The SAT is a 3 hour test that consist of three time divided components:

Sections	Amount of time given (minutes)	Number of Tasks/Questions
Reading	65	52
Writing and Language	35	44
Math	80	58
Total	180	154
