SAT Critical Reading Section Format
The SAT Critical Reading section has three main question types--short passages, long passages, and sentence completion.
Short Passages
SAT short passages are only about 1-2 paragraphs long and you'll be asked 1-2 questions on each passage. Just like the SAT Writing section, you don't need prior knowledge to answer SAT Critical Reading questions. All answers can be found in the passage.
Long Passages
Usually 3-5 paragraphs long, long passage questions are often the most challenging part of the SAT Critical Reading section. After you finish reading a passage, you will be asked 3-5 questions on what you just read. You will usually asked about a couple of main ideas and a couple of details. Like short passage questions, you'll be able to find all answers in the passage.
Sentence Completion
Sentence completion questions require you to read a sentence with a missing word(s) or phrase(s) and choose an answer to fill in the blank. Sometimes there's more than one answer that makes sense, but it's up to you to choose the answer that fits a sentence best. A good gauge of how well you'll do on SAT sentence completions is your level of vocabulary.
