About SAT
The SAT has evolved into a fully digital, adaptive exam designed to assess students’ readiness for college through critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
Compared to the previous paper-based version, the Digital SAT is shorter, faster, and more personalized, with questions that adapt based on a student’s performance during the test. Understanding the structure and format of the Digital SAT is the first step toward preparing effectively and achieving a strong score.
Section | Time | Questions |
