The Shift from Paper SAT to Digital SAT

Starting from 2024, the SAT officially enters the era of digital testing. Understanding the nuances between the Digital SAT and the Paper SAT is crucial for students preparing for this new format.

Change 1: Extremely Low Error Tolerance

Achieving a score of 1550 allows students a margin of merely two mistakes. Precision becomes paramount in this era of digital testing, emphasizing the need for meticulous preparation.

Change 2: Liberated Calculator Use in Math Section

The Math section no longer tests students’ ability to perform calculations by hand, emphasizing logical reasoning. However, the full permission to use a calculator throughout the entire section introduces a layer of complexity, demanding careful attention to intricate numerical details.

Change 3: Adaptive Testing Mode

To score above 1500, students must enter the Hard mode in the second module. Students need to maintain a positive mindset and enhance their stress resistance.

Change 4: Revamped Reading and Writing Section

The Reading and Writing section undergoes a transformation, featuring shorter passages but a diversified range of topics and question types. Introducing challenging materials like poetry and novels, the difficulty of the text has surged. The Reading and Writing section has always been a concern for many students and parents, as most students struggle with a weak foundation and find it difficult to improve.
