SAT Format and Structure (for the new digital sat march 2024 test and beyond)

Reading – 64 minutes (54 questions) Divided into two 32-minute modules
10 minute break
Math – 70 minutes (44 questions) Divided into two 35-minute modules

The digital SAT will be comprised of two components: reading/writing and math. The reading/writing section will total 64 minutes and the math section will be 70 minutes total. The test will take students 2 hours and 14 minutes to finish. Each of the sections, reading/writing and math, are divided into two modules. There is a 10-minute break in between the reading/writing component and math component.

The first module for each component will be a mix of easy, medium, and difficult questions. Their next module will depend on how they perform on the first module. The second module could be an easier one or a more difficult one. Doing well on the first module will give the student a second module that will be more difficult.

Most of the questions on the new digital SAT will be multiple-choice questions. However, on the SAT math modules, there will be some questions that ask the student to come up with the answer. There will be no answer choices provided to choose from. These were called grid-ins on the previous SAT. Similar to the previous SAT, the student does not want to leave any questions unanswered. It is better to guess than to leave a question unanswered.

Digital SAT Highlights

SHORTENED TESTING TIME

Time is of the essence, and the digital SAT understands that. With shorter sections and a new section-adaptive format, the test duration shrinks to a nimble two hours, down from three.

CALCULATOR FOR THE MATH SECTION

Math can be daunting, but the digital SAT is here to help. You're now allowed to use a calculator throughout the entire math section. Whether you bring your own approved calculator or use the built-in onscreen graphing calculator, you'll have the tools you need to excel.

STREAMLINED READING PASSAGES

Say goodbye to lengthy reading passages. The digital SAT features shorter, more manageable ones, each tied to a single question. This streamlined approach promises quicker and more straightforward reading and analysis.

RAPID SCORE DELIVERY

Waiting for your SAT scores can be nerve-wracking. With the digital SAT, that waiting period shrinks from weeks to just a few days. Quick access to your score report means you can promptly assess your performance and make informed decisions about your next steps.

What Remains the Same

While many aspects of the SAT are evolving, some key elements will remain consistent:

• Content and Skills: The digital SAT will continue to assess the same essential content and skills needed for college and career readiness.

• Test Location: You'll still take the digital SAT at a school or test center with a proctor present; there's no option for at-home testing.

• Scoring Scale: The familiar 1600-point scale will stay in place, ensuring a direct correspondence of scores between the digital SAT and the paper-and-pencil version.

• Accommodations: Students with accommodations will continue to receive support from the College Board.
