The SAT Verbal section assesses a student’s ability to read, analyze, and interpret texts, as well as understand grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure in context. Unlike the previous paper-based SAT, which separated this section into Reading and Writing & Language components, the current digital SAT combines these skills into a single Reading and Writing section.
This unified section is divided into two modules, each containing a mix of reading comprehension, writing, grammar, and language questions. Each module includes 27 questions and lasts 32 minutes, making a total of 54 questions and 64 minutes for the entire section.
The questions cover a broad range of verbal skills. The first module features a mix of easy, medium, and hard questions, while the second module adapts in difficulty based on the student’s performance in the first.
