The Upper Level SSAT runs about 3 hours 10 minutes in a fixed sequence:
| Part | Workload | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Writing Sample | 2 prompts; choose 1 | 25 min |
| Break | — | 10 min |
| Quantitative 1 | 25 questions | 30 min |
| Reading | 40 questions | 40 min |
| Break | — | 10 min |
| Verbal | 60 questions | 30 min |
| Quantitative 2 | 25 questions | 30 min |
| Experimental | 16 questions (unscored) | 15 min |
RichiePrep practice tests put every section on its own clock and build in both breaks, because pacing is most of what full-length practice is for. No calculator in either quantitative section; sections cannot be revisited once submitted.
