#Digital SAT

[snakeautistic]

I had the absolute displeasure of taking the brand new digital SAT with 1 and a half time. They make you sit until the end of your allotted time for each section with nothing to entertain yourself and it’s hell. I was stuck in the testing room for 6 hours. I did appreciate the extra time for the math part, but for everything else it was unnecessary for me.

I swear all of us in there bonded over it being horrible. I really don’t get why they don’t design it so you can’t just move on to the next part when you’re done. It would have saved me literal hours and some of my sanity because I started writing fan fiction in the annotation feature and carving my pencil with a thumbtack I found on the floor to pass the time. Such a simple design change and it’s all fixed. There are plenty of other standardized tests test let you go at your own pace, even if I hard time limit has to be set at least let people move on early.

Because it was honestly incredibly unpleasant and I’m not even sure if it was worth it. But hey they gave us pizza afterwards though

Taking the SAT exam this August. So gotta prepare for it.

It’s finally happening! The SAT is going fully digital starting in March for students in the United States.

The days of cramped hands, pencil sharpeners, and tiny ovals on answer sheets soon will be a thing of the past. And students who struggle with test fatigue can celebrate! The 3-hour paper-and-pencil SAT is being streamlined into a computer-based test that’s just under 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Here’s what you need to know about the new digital SAT:

ROLLOUT TIMELINE

The new digital SAT will be administered to students in the United States starting in spring 2024, so students in the high school class of 2025 will be the first to  have the opportunity to take the digital test. For international testing centers, the transition to the digital test will happen in spring 2023.

There will be no overlap in the transition from paper to digital testing. Starting in spring 2024, the new adaptive, computer-based test will be the only way to take the SAT.

WHAT’S STAYING THE SAME

The digital SAT will continue to measure the knowledge and skills that appear on the paper SAT.

Scoring will remain on the same 1600 scale.

Although students will be able to take the test on their own laptop or tablet, at-home testing will not be an option. The SAT will be administered exclusively at schools and testing centers.

Students who require testing accommodations will continue to receive them.

ADAPTIVE TESTING

The new digital SAT will be composed of two sections: 1.) a combined Reading and Writing section, and 2.) a Math section.

Each section will include two modules. Each module will run about 30-35 minutes.

The digital SAT will be two-stage adaptive. This means that your performance on the first module of each section will determine the difficulty of the questions on the second module of that section. The better you do on the first module, the harder the questions will be on the second module. Adaptive testing is what makes it possible for the test to be considerably shorter.

Rather than receiving identical questions, students testing together will receive unique but comparable versions of the test in both the first and second modules of each section.

SHORTER TEST, QUICKER RESULTS

The digital SAT will be a full hour shorter than the current paper-and-pencil test. Students taking the digital will have 2 hours and 14 minutes (including short “pauses” between sections) to finish the test.

The SAT Essay, which was dropped from the test in 2021, will not be making a comeback.

Students will receive their digital SAT scores just a few days after taking the test.

CHANGES TO THE READING AND WRITING SECTION

Reading and Writing will be combined into a single section on the new digital SAT.

Where the current paper SAT features 5 long passages in the Reading section and 4 long passages in the Writing section with multiple questions tied to each passage, the digital SAT will feature considerably shorter passages with a single question accompanying each.

Reading and Writing passages may contain informational graphics.

CHANGES TO THE MATH SECTION

Students may use calculators for the entire Math section of the new digital SAT.

A graphing calculator is built into the testing app. Students may also bring their own approved calculator.

We’ll keep you updated as the College Board releases more information about the new digital SAT.

In the meantime, if you have questions about the SAT or any other aspect college prep, schedule a free consultation with an Elite Prep counselor.

Adapting to change is integral to success, and the SAT is no exception. As we journey into the era of Digital SAT, let's demystify the test's transformation. Designed to level the playing field, Digital SAT maintains the core sections - Reading, Writing, and Mathematics - but now delivers them via a user-friendly, digital interface. Not only does it make the test more accessible, it also speeds up result processing. Practice remains the cornerstone to acing it. Resources like Khan Academy provide online mock tests aligning with the new format. As PSAT/NMSQT also transitions to a digital platform, your digital SAT preparation concurrently equips you for the PSAT. Embrace this digital shift and see it not as an obstacle but an opportunity to adapt, excel, and unlock academic potential. Remember, your ability to evolve with changes is a test in itself!

Preparing for the new digital SAT

Say farewell to your #2 pencils.

The PSAT & SAT will become 100% digital this school year. Whether this information is brand new to you, or something you’ve been anxiously anticipating since the announcement in early 2022, students & parents have many questions about what this means and how to prepare.

Read on for a quick recap of what to expect, and learn our three test prep strategies to navigate the changes ahead–

What is changing?

While the exam will still be scored on a 1600 scale, a few key things are changing:

The length of the exam: The exam will be reduced from 3 hours to 2 hours.

The use of calculators: Calculators will now be permitted on all math questions.

The length of reading passages: The new exam will use shorter passages with 1-2 questions.

The exam will become adaptive: The digital SAT will be a responsive test, with subsequent question difficulty being determined by earlier responses.

The administration: The biggest change is that this fall, the PSAT for the class of 2025, 2026, & 2027 and all SAT exams offered from March, 2024 onward will be administered as digital exams to be taken on computers, tablets, or Chromebooks. Mac & PC are both fine, but phones will not be permitted.

Take your preparation digital.

For 9th and 10th grade students, taking the PSAT will be a helpful component of your preparation, as it will expose you to the exact type of responsive digital exam structure and length that you will take when you register for the ‘real deal’ SAT.

For all 9th-11th grade students who are interested in preparing for the new digital exam, you are best served by practicing in this format. The College Board has partnered with Bluebook to administer the digital SAT. You can download this app and learn more about how it works and the integrated tools for PSAT and SAT testing here on the College Board site. Once you’ve downloaded Bluebook, you will have access to test previews and full length practice exams.

Explore alternatives; colleges value the ACT & SAT equally.

For 11th grade students, looking to complete testing amidst these shifts, one option you may want to consider is to prepare for and take the ACT exam prior to March of 2024. Although the ACT has also announced initial pilots for digital testing, these pilots are small to start, and will not involve any changes to the exam format or length, so preparation will remain unchanged. Because of the similarities between the ACT and SAT, preparing for the ACT and testing in the late fall or early winter, will not only give a student ACT scores to consider submitting, but will contribute to better preparation for taking the SAT in the spring. And it’s really true: college admissions offices have no preference between SAT or ACT exams, they treat both equally in the review process.

Consider waiting, just a bit.

Another option for 11th graders to consider is waiting to take the exam in March when it goes digital. This gives you plenty of preparation time, and will enable you to focus on preparing for just one exam type. Unless a student has a special circumstance, there is no urgency to securing test scores in the fall of junior year. Planning for an SAT in March or April and then again in June or August can be a good approach that gets testing completed before the start of senior year and ensures a student has scores available for early October and November deadlines.
