Changes You Need to Know
New Format
Students will take the SAT on laptops or tablets, either owned by them or by their school. Students will access their exam through The College Board’s Bluebook™ app.
The test will be shortened from 3 hours to 2 hours and 14 minutes
New Content
Because the Digital SAT is shorter, there will be adjustments to the test content. For example, students can use calculators on all math sections, and reading passages are shorter.
New Difficulty Levels
The Digital SAT is adaptive, which means the test changes based on students’ performance. The more questions they answer correctly, the harder the test gets.
Score Reports
Scores will become available days after the test instead of 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to order the Questions-and-Answers service that used to be available for some administrations
The maximum score will continue to be 1600.
