The SAT is not only a test of your aptitude but also a test of your mental stamina–you need a combination of precision, accuracy and speed to ace the SAT test.
How long is the SAT? That is an obvious follow-up question. In this article, we aim to elaborate on the different SAT sections, SAT sectional breaks and overall amount of time taken to complete the SAT. The SAT exam consists of two sections:
Reading & Writing
Mathematics
The total duration of the digital SAT exam is 2 hours and 14 minutes, with an optional 10-minute break. The table below shows the breakup of the total SAT test duration:
The test has one optional 10-minute break–after the Reading & Writing section and before the Mathematics section.
Why is the Break Important?
A break between your SAT exam can be a crucial component of your testing; make it a part of your strategy and plan your test accordingly–every minute can make a difference.
What does a break do? It helps you drink water, shake off jitters, and refocus your mind towards the next section. It’s really all about biology: Understand what glucose (sugar) levels do to your body. During an examination, make sure that you remain hydrated and have optimum sugar levels. When sugar levels drop below normal, you might shiver and lose focus; while the loss of water can be tiring. So, make sure that you use the break to your advantage to keep your body and mind in optimal conditions.
Prepping for the SATs involves building your mental stamina alongside brushing up your knowledge and skills in Math and English. But fear not, talk to us at Jamboree for a personalised SAT preparation guide!
When Does SAT Exam Start & Order of the Sections
The test center opens at 7:45 a.m. on test day and close at 8 a.m if you are taking the SAT exam on a weekend. Preliminary instructions are read to the students once they are seated in their examination room and the test begins between 8:30 a.m and 9 a.m. Coming to the order of the sections, in SAT both verbal sections come first, followed by two quant sections.

The faculty and the admin staff of this centre is quite supportive. The main factor while preparing for GRE is the positivity that you have around you and Jamboree's staff makes sure you have that when you are at the centre. Plus the material that they have compiled for Quants and verbal is up to the mark. The word list prepared by them is no less than the international GRE vocab list. Constant evaluation by teachers and regular suggestions during preparation makes the centre the best. Plus point is that you can attend the doubt classes as many times you want since the batches are going on a rolling basis. I scored 313 in GRE and would suggest Jamboree FC Road branch to any GRE aspirant.

I took the sat with admission course. The facility and infrastructure were great. They gave me a admission counsellor and a essay writer. Mrs Sowmya Saravanan mam was my admission counsellor. She used to be calm and we'll cooperative. Whenever we called her over phone, she politely answered our call . She showed a very soft and nice behaviour .All the credit goes to Sowmya mam. A institute must have a great faculty like her.
Thank you for all your help...

It was a wonderful experience, the way we were taught. I had studied for GRE and TOEFL. Faculties are amazing, always ready to guide you through your problems and give appropriate methods to solve them. I would truly recommend my friends in Greater Noida to join here for their preparation.

This is definitely the best coaching for SAT in Indore. The faculty is extremely dedicated to help you learn. They put in hours and hours of time to make sure that we completely understand the concepts. The materials provided for practice are excellent and enough to obtain a good score. I saw a change of 250+ points in my test after joining Jamboree. I would definitely recommend SAT test takers to join Jamboree.
