How SSAT is conducted

• Mode
  Standard — practice without proctoring on Wrexa Edge, or enable optional webcam proctoring to simulate test-day conditions.
• Test format

• Verbal (60 Q)
  Target ~30 sec/question. If a question takes more than 45 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Quantitative — Math 1 (25 Q)
  Target ~72 sec/question. If a question takes more than 108 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Reading Comprehension (40 Q)
  Target ~60 sec/question. If a question takes more than 90 seconds, mark for review and move on.
• Quantitative — Math 2 (25 Q)
  Target ~72 sec/question. If a question takes more than 108 seconds, mark for review and move on.
