Digital SAT Format Chart

Format overview

Both sections use Module 1 to determine whether Module 2 is easier or harder.

What changed from the paper SAT

The Digital SAT is shorter, uses short reading passages, allows Desmos throughout Math, and adapts by section.

How to use this on 1600.now

Read the chart once, then switch into practice. The site is built around filtered bank questions, timed modules, score tools, and saved practice sets, so the next step should be an action inside one of those tools.

• Use the question bank when the page names a skill or domain.
• Use timed modules when the page is about pacing or test format.
• Use score tools when the page is about score targets or admissions decisions.

How to use this page without wasting time

Read for the decision, then move into practice. The page should tell you which tool to open, which skill to drill, or which score question to answer.

• If the topic names a skill, open that filtered bank route.
• If the topic names timing, use a timed module.
• If the topic names scores or colleges, use the score tools.
• If the topic names mistakes, create a saved drill set and redo it later.
