Top Questions about the Digital SAT
Yes, the digital SAT is a computer-adaptive test.
There are two sections: (1) Reading and Writing and (2) Math. Each section is divided into two modules of equal length. Module 1 has a medium average question difficulty. Based on your performance in Module 1, the test adapts and delivers either an easier or harder Module 2.
Each module’s questions are pre-determined and do not change as you work through them. You can move freely within a module during the allotted time — skipping ahead or going back to previous questions. However, you cannot return to a previous module or move ahead to the next one, even if you finish early.
The digital SAT uses a scoring method called Item Response Theory (IRT). This means that your score depends not just on how many questions you answer correctly, but on which questions you answer correctly.
Questions are weighted based on characteristics like difficulty. In general, more difficult questions are worth more. Getting harder questions right increases your score more than getting easier ones right. Unlocking the harder Module 2 gives you the opportunity to earn a higher possible score by accessing more high-value questions.
The digital SAT is 2 hours and 14 minutes long with a total of 98 questions. The test consists of two sections:
- Reading and Writing: 64 minutes | 54 questions
- Math: 70 minutes | 44 questions
Each section is split into two modules of equal length. You’ll also get a 10-minute break between the sections. Here’s the full breakdown:

The digital SAT is offered eight times a year, with test dates typically falling on a Saturday in March, May, June, August, September, October, November, and December. Some high schools also offer the SAT during the school day in the spring and fall. Check with your school counselor to see if SAT School Day testing is available at your school.
For the most up-to-date test dates and registration deadlines, visit College Board’s website.
You can also read our SAT Test Dates blog post for details on registration, school-day testing, and Sunday testing.
Most questions on the digital SAT are multiple-choice. The Math section also includes student-produced response questions (formerly known as grid-ins). Here’s a breakdown of each section:
Reading and Writing
All Reading and Writing questions are multiple-choice. Each question is based on a short passage (25–150 words) or pair of short passages. Questions are drawn from four content domains:
- Craft and Structure
- Information and Ideas
- Standard English Conventions
- Expression of Ideas
Learn more about the Reading and Writing Section.
Math
About 75% of the Math questions are multiple-choice. The rest are student-produced response questions, where you’ll enter your own answer. Math questions are drawn from four content domains:
- Algebra
- Advanced Math
- Problem Solving and Data Analysis
- Geometry and Trigonometry
The digital SAT is shorter, adaptive, and taken on a computer. Here are the key differences:
- Fewer sections: It has two sections instead of four — Reading and Writing are now combined, and the “No-Calculator” Math section has been eliminated.
- Shorter test: The digital SAT includes 98 questions and takes 2 hours and 14 minutes. That’s 56 fewer questions and 46 minutes shorter than the old paper version.
- Adaptive format: The digital SAT is an adaptive test. Each section is divided into two modules, and the difficulty of Module 2 depends on your performance in Module 1.
- Shorter reading passages: Each question in the Reading and Writing section is based on its own short passage, replacing the longer, multi-question passages from the paper test.
- Calculator use: You can use a calculator on the entire math section. There’s even a built-in graphing calculator.

Yes! You can use a calculator on the entire Math section of the digital SAT.
You can either bring your own approved calculator or use the built-in Desmos graphing calculator, which is available during the Math section.
Yes, there are two unscored questions on every module of the test. They aren’t marked and look just like regular test questions, so you won’t know which ones they are.
These unscored questions are known as pretest or experimental questions. College Board uses them to test new material and ensure future questions are fair and well-calibrated.
What does this mean for you?
- Treat every question as if it’s scored — you won’t be able to tell which ones count.
- Don’t get stuck on a single question. Instead, flag it and come back later. You don’t want to spend too much time on a question that might not even affect your score.
The ACT is changing in 2025. The new, enhanced version of the test is closer to the digital SAT in terms of test length and time per question. However, there are some important differences in format, structure, and testing experience:
- The SAT is fully digital and adaptive. The enhanced ACT is not adaptive and is still offered on paper as well as on the computer.
- Reading and English on the enhanced ACT involves longer passages with multiple questions. The digital SAT uses shorter passages with one question each.
- The digital SAT includes student-produced responses in Math. The ACT Math section is all multiple-choice.
- The SAT provides a formula sheet for Math. The enhanced ACT does not.
- The enhanced ACT includes optional Science and Writing sections. The digital SAT does not.
Both exams are used in college admissions and test similar academic skills. Your preference may depend on how you feel about digital vs paper test, reading passage length, and question types.
