Undertstanding the Digital SAT
- Testing Platform: You’ll take the exam on a laptop or tablet in a designated testing center or potentially even your own school.
- Shorter Test: The digital SAT takes about 2 hours to complete, compared to the 3 hours of the paper-based version.
- Adaptive Testing: The digital SAT uses a “multistage adaptive testing” system. This means the difficulty of the questions will adjust based on your performance throughout the test, ensuring a more personalized experience.
- Section Breakdown: The test remains divided into two sections: Reading & Writing and Math. Each section is further split into two modules you can navigate within a time limit.
