The Redesigned SAT is a three hour test, plus 50 minutes for an optional essay.

Multiple-choice questions now have 4 answer choices, and there is no negative marking.

There are two sections each in the following two broad areas:

• Evidence-based Reading and Writing
• Math

Each of the two sections is scored from 200 - 800, for a composite total score of 1600. 

The essay is optional and is scored separately.
