=== Style of questions === Most of the questions on the SAT, except for the student-produced responses (SPR) in the math section, are [[multiple choice]]; all multiple-choice questions have four answer choices, one of which is correct. About 25% of the math section is SPR. They instead require the test taker to enter in a number.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Student-Produced Responses β SAT Suite {{!}} College Board |url=https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/sat/whats-on-the-test/math/student-produced |access-date=2025-04-29 |website=satsuite.collegeboard.org |language=en}}</ref> Not all questions on each section of the SAT are weighted equally, harder questions are weighted less and easier problems are weighted more.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Ins and Outs of the Digital SAT {{!}} Scoir |url=https://www.scoir.com/blog/the-ins-and-outs-of-the-digital-sat |access-date=2025-04-29 |website=www.scoir.com |language=en-us}}</ref> There are experimental problems which are used by College Board to test future test questions.
