The SAT critical reading section gives you a chance to show how well you understand what you read. There are two types of multiple-choice questions in the critical reading section:
-
Sentence completion questions test your vocabulary and your understanding of sentence structure. (19 questions)
- Passage-based reading questions test your comprehension of what is stated in or implied by the passage, not your prior knowledge of the topic. (48 questions)
