SAT is conducted in 2 stages: Reading and Writing, Math. Each stage has its own question count, marks, duration, and negative-marking rules, shown on the exam pattern page.

Reading and Writing has 54 questions worth 54 marks in 64 minutes, covering Craft and Structure (15 questions, 15 marks), Information and Ideas (14 questions, 14 marks), Standard English Conventions (14 questions, 14 marks), Expression of Ideas (11 questions, 11 marks).

No. SAT has no negative marking, and an unanswered question scores zero. The same rule applies at every stage.

The figures on this page describe the SAT pattern for the 2026 cycle and were last checked on 14 August 2026, against the source linked on this page. It is marked official, meaning the primary document was read directly.

The SAT tests here are built to the sections the official Reading and Writing pattern names (Craft and Structure, Information and Ideas, Standard English Conventions, Expression of Ideas), and each is checked against that pattern before it is published. Granular topic labels beneath those sections are a TakeMockTest preparation map, not an official subtopic list, unless stated otherwise.
