so you\u2019re taking the brand new sat. you\u2019ve probably heard that unlike the old sat, which was broken into 10 smallish chunks, the new sat only has a few large sections. these long sections can seem daunting, but by practicing the sat in timed sets, being aware of your time, and using time management strategies, you\u2019ll fly through the 65 minute reading section<\/a> with confidence!<\/p>\n

taking time into your own hands on the sat<\/h2>\n

wearing your own watch is your best bet for keeping track of time. sorry, my tech-loving friends, but it\u2019s best to leave your apple watch at home and stick to vintage. we don\u2019t want your test proctor to see you with screens and jump to a negative conclusion. wristwatch or pocket watch, as long as you avoid beeping, blinking, or glowing you should be fine.<\/p>\n

testing rooms are usually outfitted with a clock, but in order to avoid awkwardly twisting around to check the time every few minutes, it\u2019s easiest to wear your own timepiece. however, your test proctor will likely be measuring your pencils-down time with the room clock, so it\u2019s a good idea to make sure your watch is synced with the room clock when you first arrive. just the presence of those ticking hands reminds you that your test-taking time is not unlimited, but wearing a watch isn\u2019t helpful unless you use it!<\/p>\n

be intentional with sat timing<\/h2>\n

wearing a watch increases your awareness of time, and that\u2019s the first step in deciding what to do with it. in the hour and five minutes of the sat reading section, you need to navigate through five<\/strong> passage sets and a grand total of 52 questions.<\/p>\n
