About the Exam

SAT Physics is a multiple choice physics exam of one hour duration pitched at easy-medium level.

Duration: 1hr 

Number of questions: 75 

The SAT Physics Test is divided into two parts, part A and part B as follows:

Part A:

  • First 12 or 13 questions.
  • 4 groups of 2 to 4 questions each.
  • The questions within any one group all relate to a single situation.
  • 5 possible answer choices are given before the question.
  • An answer choice can be used once, more than once, or not at all in each group.

Part B:

  • Last 62 or 63 questions
  • Each question has 5 possible answer choice with 1 correct answer
  • Some questions may be in groups of 2 or 3

S. No
