What the Writing Section Tests
Just like the SAT II Writing test, the new SAT Writing
section has two major parts:
-
An Essay Question
- Multiple-Choice
Questions
The essay gives you 25 minutes to take a position on a
broad topic and back it up with examples. One question. One answer.
The multiple-choice section feels more like a typical,
standardized test. You’ll have 25 minutes to answer questions covering
proper grammar and language usage. These questions are broken down
into the following types:
- Identifying Sentence Errors
- Improving Sentences
- Improving Paragraphs
