SAT PrepMaster Every Section of the Digital SAT
The Digital SAT is divided into two main sections: Reading & Writing and Math. Each section contains two modules that adapt to your performance — if you do well on Module 1, Module 2 gets harder (and scores higher). The test includes 98 questions total across 4 modules, completed in approximately 2 hours and 14 minutes.
The Reading & Writing section covers 54 questions in 64 minutes, testing your comprehension, grammar, and rhetoric skills across short passages. The Math section covers 44 questions in 70 minutes, spanning algebra, advanced math, data analysis, and geometry. Unlike the old paper SAT, every math question now allows a calculator (the built-in Desmos graphing calculator).
Reading & Writing
54 questions across 2 adaptive modules. Each question is paired with a short passage (25-150 words) testing comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and rhetoric.
Information and Ideas
26%Analyze passages to identify central ideas, supporting details, and draw logical inferences from evidence. This domain tests your ability to comprehend what a text says explicitly and implicitly.
Craft and Structure
28%Understand how authors use word choice, text structure, and rhetorical purpose to convey meaning. You will analyze how different texts approach similar topics and identify connections across passages.
Expression of Ideas
20%Improve writing by choosing effective transitions and synthesizing information from multiple sources. This domain focuses on revision skills that strengthen clarity, coherence, and organization.
Standard English Conventions
26%Apply grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure rules to edit passages. Master boundary punctuation, verb agreement, pronoun clarity, and modifier placement for error-free writing.
Math
44 questions across 2 adaptive modules. Covers algebra through trigonometry with the built-in Desmos graphing calculator available for every question.
Algebra
35%Solve linear equations, work with linear functions and their graphs, tackle systems of equations, and interpret linear inequalities. Algebra is the largest math domain and foundational for the entire section.
Advanced Math
35%Work with quadratic and polynomial expressions, exponential functions, radicals, and nonlinear equations. This domain tests your ability to manipulate and solve complex mathematical expressions.
Problem-Solving & Data Analysis
15%Apply ratios, percentages, statistical concepts, and probability to real-world scenarios. Interpret data from tables, charts, and graphs to draw conclusions and make predictions.
Geometry and Trigonometry
15%Calculate area, volume, and surface area of geometric shapes. Apply triangle properties, circle theorems, and trigonometric ratios to solve spatial reasoning problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Digital SAT?
The Digital SAT is the current format of the SAT administered by College Board since March 2024. It is taken on a computer (or tablet), features shorter passages, adaptive difficulty modules, and allows a built-in Desmos graphing calculator on all math questions. The test is 2 hours and 14 minutes with 98 total questions.
How is the SAT scored?
The SAT is scored on a scale of 400-1600. You receive a Reading & Writing score (200-800) and a Math score (200-800). The adaptive modules mean your Module 2 difficulty depends on Module 1 performance — higher difficulty in Module 2 gives access to higher score ranges.
How long should I study for the SAT?
Most students benefit from 2-3 months of consistent practice. If you are starting from a lower baseline or targeting a very high score (1500+), 3-4 months is recommended. Consistency matters more than total hours — 30-45 minutes of focused daily practice is more effective than occasional long sessions.
