Digital SAT Tutoring

Our team of experienced SAT tutors provides expert test prep to ensure your child is ready for the Digital SAT. No matter which stage of the preparation process your child is in, our SAT tutors will develop a tailored approach to help your child achieve their target scores and maximize their chances of getting into their dream universities in the US.

Generally, we would suggest our students take a practice SAT no later than Grade 10 so we can gauge their starting point on the test. From there we would create a personalized preparation plan on how to get them ready by test date, as well as suggestions on their testing schedule. 

Private and semi-private classes are available at our center or online. Whether you need a mock test, want an intensive, drill-heavy prep or hope to build long-term foundations, our committed SAT tutors have the preparation tools and experience to ensure your child succeeds.

About the Digital SAT

The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), offered by the College Board, is one of two standardized tests used by most US universities for college applications. It gauges in part an applicant’s compatibility for university education and how well they have synthesized their secondary school teachings. 

The College Board launched the Digital SAT in  March 2023 for international students. The Digital SAT will be rolled out for US students in March 2024.

The Digital SAT is split into two sections: Reading and Writing (RW) and Math. Each section consists of two equal length modules, with a 10-minute break between the two sections. 

The Digital SAT Format & Scoring

Similar to the previous SAT, the Digital SAT is also scored out of 1600. Each section (RW and Math) is scored between 200 and 800. The total added up for both sections would be your score out of 1600. There is no penalty for guessing.

So what’s different about the Digital SAT?

Here are some of the key differences in the new Digital SAT:

• The test is shorter. The test has been shortened to 2 hours and 14 minutes long with a 10 minute break between the two sections. 
• The test is now digital. The SAT is no longer a pen-and-paper test. Questions and answers will be on a computer. You can opt to use a computer offered at the test center, or bring your own device.   
• Calculators are allowed. Calculators are allowed for the entire math section. You can choose your own graphic calculator or use the on-screen calculator that is built into the testing software.
• The test is adaptive. Depending on how you perform on the first module of each section, you will then be either given a harder or an easier set of questions for module 2 for each section. Some questions within a module are weighted more than others depending on their difficulty.  
• Not everyone gets the same questions. Unlike the phased out paper-and-pencil SAT where everyone gets the same paper with the same questions, the Digital SAT software compiles different questions in different orders for test-takers. So while everyone is tested on the same concepts, they may not be working on the same questions at the same time.
