Digital SAT – Quick Start

Now the SAT is also digital! If you’re too busy to read our previous in-depth coverage, here’s a quick overview of what you need to know to keep you up to date:

Today's SAT is digital and much shorter than before. The paper version of the SAT takes 3 hours, but the new digital SAT is only 2 hours and 14 minutes.
International students took the digital SAT for the first time on March 11, 2023. All U.S. and international students will take the digital SAT in March 2024.
The test score is still 800 points for each section (reading and writing, mathematics), and the total score is still 1600 points. 1500 points is usually the highest 1% score.
The digital SAT still needs to be taken at school or at a designated testing location. Students need to bring their own device (laptop or other device) to the exam center. If a student does not have a suitable device, arrangements can be made to borrow it through CollegeBoard.
There are no changes to support measures for students. Students who need extra time can still complete the exam on a digital platform.
The Reading and Writing and Language sections of the paper-based test are now combined into a single section called "Reading and Writing." This part consists of two modules.
The math section has its own section and also has two modules. Math questions are still arranged in order of difficulty, just like the original paper exam.
A calculator is available at any time during the math section. The digital platform provides a built-in Desmos calculator that students can use. Additionally, students can bring their own calculator (it is still highly recommended)!
Digital exams are adaptive. This means that your performance on the first module will determine the difficulty of the second module (easier second module or harder second module).
