The first section of the digital SAT is the Reading & Writing section. This section will test vocabulary, reading comprehension, and conventions of standard English grammar and structure. Each passage or each pair of short passages will have only one question. No passages will be repeated. Students will have different passages or the same passages may be in a different order than other test takers.
The Reading and Writing Section will have two modules. The first module will be the same average difficulty for everyone. It will be 32 minutes long and 27 questions long, meaning you'll have an average of approximately 71 seconds per question. Depending on how you do on the first module, the second module will be either harder or easier. The second module will also be 32 minutes long with 27 questions.
In the reading and writing section you'll start off with vocabulary based passage type questions. You'll then have evidence based (text) and figured based (quantitative) questions before moving to inference questions. After that, you'll have text structure questions. The next group of questions will be grammar and structure questions, before moving to integrating and summarizing information questions. The questions will be a mix of the following: natural and social science, history, culture, technology, and arts across non-fiction and fiction.
From 200 - 800
Depends on:
You cannot lose points for incorrect answers (so answer everything - guess if you have no other option)
The Math section is the second section of the digital SAT. The math section will test your knowledge in Algebra, advanced math, problem solving & data analysis, geometry, and trigonometry. Approximately 75% of the questions on the math section of the test are multiple choice. Approximately 25% of the questions will be questions where you need to type in your answer.
Like the Reading & Writing section of the digital SAT, the math section will be split into two modules. The first module has 22 questions and is 35 minutes long. This means you have an average of 95 seconds per question. The first module will be the same for everyone and of average difficulty. Depending on how you do on the first module, the second module will either be easier or harder. The second module will also be 22 questions long and last for 35 minutes.
On the digital SAT there is no non-calculator portion of the math section. The Desmos Graphing calculator will be available for ALL questions on the math portion of the digital SAT. Students can bring their own calculator also BUT you are recommended to get very familiar with the Desmos SAT calculator so that you can use it on the test. The Desmos calculator rules!
