    SAT Preparatory Course

    The Digital SAT is the modern version of the SAT exam, which was introduced in 2023. The digital version differs from the traditional paper-and-pencil format in several ways, including how the test is delivered, the types of questions, and the overall experience. Here's an overview of the Digital SAT exam format:

    Test Structure:
    The Digital SAT is shorter than the paper-based version and consists of two main sections:

    Reading and Writing (Evidence-Based Reading and Writing)

    • Number of Questions: 54 questions in total.
    • Sub-sections
    • Reading: 27 questions that assess your ability to understand and analyze written texts.
    • Writing and Language: 27 questions that test grammar, punctuation, and the ability to revise written text for clarity, style, and correctness.

    Math

    • Number of Questions: 38 questions in total.
    • Sub-sections
    • No Calculator: 17 questions, which test your mathematical reasoning and problem-solving ability without the use of a calculator.
    • Calculator: 21 questions, where you can use a calculator to solve problems.

    Duration

    • The total testing time is approximately 2 hours and 14 minutes.
    • Reading and Writing: 64 minutes.
    • Math: 70 minutes (35 minutes for the no-calculator section and 35 minutes for the calculator section).

    Question Types

    • Multiple Choice Most questions are multiple-choice, where you choose the best answer from four options.
    • Grid-In: The math section includes grid-in questions, where you enter your answer as a number.

    Adaptive Testing

    • One of the key differences between the digital SAT and the previous paper-based version is that the digital SAT is adaptive. This means that the test adjusts the difficulty of the questions based on how well you perform in earlier sections.
    • The Reading and Writing and Math sections each consist of two parts. The first part of each section will have a fixed set of questions, and the second part will adapt to your performance. For example, if you do well on the first part, the second part will have harder questions; if you perform less well, the second part will feature easier questions.
    • This adaptive structure helps the test more accurately assess your skills and provides a better estimate of your abilities.

    Scoring

    • Score Range: The score range for the Digital SAT is 400 to 1600, which is the same as the paper-based version.
    • Math: 200 to 800.
    • Reading and Writing: 200 to 800.
    • The test is scored based on the number of correct answers, with no penalty for wrong answers (no guessing penalty).

    Test Delivery

    • The Digital SAT is taken on a computer, and students will be provided with a tablet or laptop at the test center.
    • The test interface is designed to be user-friendly, with features like a built-in calculator for the math section (in the appropriate parts), a timer, and a tool for flagging questions you might want to return to.

    Key Changes from the Paper-Based SAT

    • Shorter Duration: The Digital SAT is about 45 minutes shorter than the traditional paper-and-pencil version.
    • Adaptive Testing: The digital format allows for an adaptive test design, adjusting the difficulty based on student performance.
    • Question Delivery: Instead of having to flip through pages of questions, all questions appear on the computer screen and are presented in an ordered format.
    • Interactive Tools: The digital interface offers several tools, such as a highlighter, a calculator for the math section, and a timer.

    Preparation Tips

    • Familiarize yourself with the digital format by taking practice tests, as the user interface will be new to many students.
    • Make sure you're comfortable with digital tools like a virtual calculator and highlighting text, as these will be available to you on test day.


      • Overall, the Digital SAT is designed to be a more efficient and adaptive version of the test, allowing for a more personalized and streamlined experience.
