How we work this out

What it does

Time a full digital SAT or one module, with the pace you need.

The digital SAT at standard time.

Method

  1. The clock follows College Board's timing: two 32-minute Reading and Writing modules, a 10-minute break, then two 35-minute Math modules.
  2. Pace is the module's time shared evenly across its questions: 1 min 11 s for each Reading and Writing question and 1 min 35 s for each Math question.
  3. The timer counts from the moment you press Start and keeps time if you switch tabs.
