Question 1: How is the digital SAT organized, and how long does it take?

Answer

Two sections: Reading and Writing (64 minutes) and Math (70 minutes). Total time is 2 hours 14 minutes.

Each section has two modules of equal length, and the second module adapts to your performance on the first. A 10-minute break separates the sections.

Question 2: If 3x + 5 = 20, what is the value of x?

Answer

Subtract 5 from both sides to get 3x = 15, then divide both sides by 3.

Question 3: Which verb completes the sentence? The box of old photographs (was/were) in the attic.

Answer

was

The subject is box, which is singular. The phrase of old photographs sits between the subject and the verb and does not change the agreement.
