Demo: sample questions and a shorter clock. Nothing is saved or sent.

Before you begin

Welcome, here is how it works.

  • 16 questions in about 18 minutes: Reading and Writing, then Math.
  • Each section has two timed parts. How the first part goes decides whether the second is harder or easier. Do your best on both.
  • The clock starts when you press Start, not before. You can take a five minute break between sections.
  • Answer every question. A blank counts as wrong, so guess if you have to.
  • You can mark a question for review, cross out choices, and jump to any question in the part you are on. Once a part is handed in, it cannot be reopened.
  • Math has a reference sheet on screen. Use your own calculator for any Math question.
  • Take it alone, in a quiet place, on a laptop or tablet if you can. The results are only useful if they are yours.
  • If something comes up, close the tab. Your answers save, and you have 24 hours to finish.

This works on a phone, but a laptop or tablet is easier for long passages.
