  5. Reading Test • 5 Passages • 47 Passage-Based Questions; 60 minutes Quick Facts • All questions are multiple choice and based on passages. • Some passages are paired with other passages or informational graphics such as charts, graphs, and tables. • No mathematical computation is required. • Prior topic-specific knowledge is never tested.
