About the sat practice timer
Practise with the real digital SAT timing. The test has two sections, each split into two modules: Reading and Writing is 2 × 32 minutes (54 questions total) and Math is 2 × 35 minutes (44 questions total), with a 10-minute break between the sections.
Like the official Bluebook app, the timer warns you when 5 minutes remain. It also shows elapsed time, so you can check your pace per question.
