The new digital SAT is coming!

Will your student be ready? The high school class of 2025 will be the first students to take the digital PSAT in fall 2023. Starting in March 2024, the SAT will also be digital. So what will change? I’ll highlight some of the changes here, and address the pros and cons in a subsequent post.

  1. First digital PSAT - Oct 2023, start of digital SAT - March 2024.

  2. The test will be shorter, two hours instead of three, with more time per question.

  3. Students will use their own devices or may arrange to check one out from the test center.

  4. Calculators are allowed on all math sections.

  5. Shorter reading passages with fewer questions per passage.

  6. The test is adaptive, meaning that how well the student does on the first section will determine the questions given in subsequent sections.

  7. Results available in days rather than weeks.
