It consists of two sections-English and Mathematics, each of which is scored out of 800 points, for a total of 1600 points:  \n○ Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (English) -800 points  \n■ Contains two subsections: Reading and Writing  \n■ Reading Subsection: 65 minutes for 52 questions  \n● Assesses reading comprehension and analyzation skills with respect to text passages  \n● All the questions in this section are multiple choice ones  \n■ Writing Subsection: 35 minutes for 44 questions  \n● Assesses grammar, sentence structure, and editing skills in context  \n● All the questions in this section are multiple choice ones  \n○ Mathematics-800 points  \n● Contains two subsections: Calculator and Non-Calcular. For both subsections, you will be assessed on your ability to solve questions relating to the following topics: Heart of Algebra, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, Passport to Advanced Math, and Additional Topics (Geometry, Trigonometry, etc.)  \n● Non-Calculator Subsection: 25 minutes for 20 questions  \n○ 20 multiple choice questions, 5 grid-in (student-produced response) questions  \n● Calculator-Active Subsection: 55 minutes for 38 questions  \n○ 30 multiple choice questions, 8 grid-in (student-produced response) questions  \nThis study guide focuses on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section of the exam.  \nIf you are studying for the exam, here are some things to remember:  \n● Create your own study calendar! This way you will be sure to make some time to study for the SAT in a structured, organized manner. A popular practice schedule is to do three days of practice on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section and two days of practice on the Mathematics section (or vice versa!) on weekdays and to take a practice exam on the weekend, where Saturday could be used to take a practice test, and Sunday to analyze the results of the practice test and look into any mistakes made and how to fix them. As you approach your SAT exam day though, switch to a different gear: spend most of your time taking, and reviewing results of, as many practice tests as possible.  \n● Read! On the SAT exam, you will be exposed to different types of passages across abroad range of topics that you will be expected to be able to understand well. Reading different kinds of passages in your free time will expose you to different writing styles and make you more accustomed to them.  \n● Look for the main idea! When reading, make sure you read the first few sentences of each paragraph in a passage over again to get a better understanding of the writing. When in doubt, read it again, so that you are not missing any key ideas, about which there maybe questions.  \n● Proofread your work! By rereading and editing past work for grammar or sentence structure mistakes, you will practice spotting errors and improve your writing-a skill vital to mastering the SAT.  \n● Find out the areas in which you are struggling! During or after any study session or practice exam, note the questions you may have struggled with. After any practice assessment, it is important for you to go over your missed answers and become aware of where you went wrong, and then to refamiliarize yourself with those concepts and do more practice questions until you gain confidence in that area.  \n● Practice, practice, practice! You can only get better with practice, determination, and hard work. Practice is the name of the game! Yes, you can do it!  \nRaw Score Conversion Table-Grading  \n([Image retrieved from](Image retrieved fro","cbCaikN5NZ4tFyUq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikN5NZ4tFyUq","pdf",3942759,56,"English","# SAT English section overview\n## Evidence-Based Reading and Writing structure and timing\n## Evidence-Based Reading passage types\n## Question organization and skills tested\n# Study strategies for success\n## Build a study calendar and practice plan\n## Reading approach: main idea and rereading\n## Proofreading and error correction\n## Diagnose weaknesses and target practice\n# Evidence-Based Reading question types\n## Central idea questions\n## Specific detail questions\n## Inference questions","[{\"question\":\"How is the SAT English section structured and how long is each part?\",\"answer\":\"The English section is the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing component, scored out of 800.
