For standard time test-takers, the first break (afterthe Reading Test) will be ten minutes instead offive minutes.4. Students testing with extended time will alsoreceive additional breaks as noted later in thissection. Students will only receive extended timefor the subject areas for which they are approved(e.g., math only or writing only). Exception:Students approved for reading will continue toreceive extended time for the entire test.5. The Essay Test may or may not be included inyour school’s contract. (See the Contract Typesexplanation in the next column.)6. The online Attendance Roster has been enhancedto better assist you in making room assignments.Note that the SSD coordinator will continue to usethe NAR for a roster of students testing under hisor her supervision.ivTest FactsThe redesigned SAT is composted of threesections, which follow the same order in every testbook.Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: Includes aReading Test and a Writing and Language Test.Each test is composed of multiparagraph passagesand multiple-choice questions.
