The SAT is offered on campus during school hours twice per year. In the Fall, Grades 9-11 participate in the PSAT and Seniors Grade 12 participate in the SAT. In the Spring, Grade 11 and select seniors participate in the SAT for a second time. 

The digital SAT is composed of two sections: Reading and Writing and Math. Students have 64 minutes to complete the Reading and Writing section and 70 minutes to complete the Math section for a total of 2 hours and 14 minutes.

Each section is divided into 2 equal length modules, and there is a 10-minute break between the Reading and Writing section and the Math section. The first module of each section contains a broad mix of easy, medium, and hard questions. Based on how students perform on the first module, the second module of questions will either be more difficult or less difficult.

Compared to the ACT^®, the SAT provides 68% more time per question:
