SAT Exam Pattern 2024 Overview
The SAT Exam 2024 features a digital format with two main sections: Reading
and Writing (RW) and Mathematics. Each section is scored separately on a scale
from 200 to 800. In the digital version of the SAT, questions are primarily
multiple-choice, although some Math questions require students to provide
written responses rather than simply selecting an answer. A key benefit of the
updated SAT pattern is the continuation of the 'no negative marking' policy.
Additionally, the new SAT format includes several changes: the overall test
duration has been shortened, calculators are allowed for all Math questions, and
there is now a single combined Reading & Writing section. For more details on
the changes, check out the New SAT Format 2023 and the differences between
the old and new SAT patterns.
