Let’s conquer the SAT together and pave the way to your dream college!
The SAT is a standardised test owned and developed by the College Board for undergraduate admissions in the US universities. The SAT gives an idea of how much have you learned from your high school and how well prepared are you for your higher education.
Often, students view the SAT as a requirement only for receiving scholarships. However, they miss the fact that the SAT is principally a requirement for admissions into good universities. So, even if you are not looking for scholarships, you are highly recommended to take the test since it is an admission requirement for most of the good schools.
The SAT has gone DIGITAL since Spring 2023.
The Digital SAT exam is computer adaptive. It means it is customized to your performance. If you do better on the first section, you will get harder questions for the second.
The Digital SAT is shorter as it has shorter reading passages and more direct questions. Calculator use is expanded, and you can bring your own.
Reading and Writing (RW) Section:
- You will read a number of short passages and answer one multiple choice question (MCQ) for each passage. Occasionally, some passages are connected to other passages. These passages can sometimes contain pictures, charts, graphs, and tables along.
- Reading texts will test your ability to understand how words matter in shaping a writing and often on how informational graphics and the passage are connected with each other.
- Writing texts will measure your ability to edit texts to conform to Standard English Conventions. It also tests how well you can revise texts by finding and fixing errors in the passage. This ability is essential because during your higher studies you will be required to write lots of essays, prepare projects and give presentations.
Math Section:
- The digital SAT Math is an updated version of the SAT Math. It is designed to be more rigorous and comprehensive, and to better prepare students for college-level mathematics.
- Along with the regular math problems, emphasis is also given on data analysis and the use of real-word problems.
- Following its predecessor digital SAT Math also comprises both multiple choice questions and students produce response.
- Unlike old SAT, digital SAT don’t have two sections but one section and two modules. The second module is based on performance of first module.
- The Math test focuses on key elements of algebra, advanced math, problem-solving and data analysis, and geometry and trigonometry. The emphasis is on algebra and advanced math.

The SAT test will be delivered digitally beginning internationally from March, 2023. While this transition to digital testing format will bring a number of student- friendly changes, the SAT will essentially remain the same.
Each section (Reading and Writing; Math) is divided into two equal-length and separately timed stages, each composed of a module/set of questions. The first module consists of a broad mix of easy, medium, and hard questions. Now, depending on how the student performs in the first module, the questions in the second module are of either higher or lower difficulty level than those of the first module. Here, the test “adapts” to present questions more suitable to a student’s performance level.
The Digital SAT is composed of two sections (Reading and Writing and Math) and utilizes adaptive testing methodology.
Reading and Writing (RW) Section:
- The digital tests have a single Reading and Writing section instead of separate Reading and writing and Language tests. This section will feature many shorter passages as opposed to of a few long texts.
- A single question is associated with each short passage of 25 to 150 “words” length instead of having several questions associated with a small number of longer passages. Many shorter passages would mean that students will see a wider range of topics that represent the kind of works they will read in college.
- This transition to digital assessment provides more efficient testing of “college readiness skills” and recognizes the importance of combining reading and writing skills and knowledge.
Math:
- A single Math section replaces the separately timed no-calculator and calculator-allowed portions.
- The average length of in-context questions (“word problems”) has been reduced. This change is the result of student feedback that longer in-context questions hindered students in demonstrating their core math skills.
