What Is The SAT?
Introduction
The SAT is a standardized examination designed to measure students’ abilities in three areas: reading, writing, and mathematical reasoning. The SAT is written and administered by the College Board. Many American colleges and universities require SAT scores for admission and consider these scores an important factor in judging the quality of applicants. Why do colleges care about the SAT? Because grading standards vary from one high school to another, it can be hard for colleges to know whether two applicants with the same grades are performing at the same level. Your high school grades, course selection, extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and application essays are all factors that colleges will use to decide whether you are a good fit for their school. However, in today’s highly competitive admissions process, a solid SAT score may provide you with the extra edge needed to be successful.
The move from a paper-and-pencil SAT to a digital, adaptive SAT is one of the biggest changes the test has seen in its 100-year history. As of the March 2024 SAT, bubble sheets will be a thing of the past. Compass is leading the adoption of digital testing in the test preparation space. Our product team has been, for some time, in conversations with executives from College Board and ACT about their respective plans and what those plans mean for students. For U.S. students, the October 2023 PSAT will be their introduction to digital testing
The Short Version:
- SAT’s tact is to change with the times and move testing to computers and tablets. The test will also be shorter and adaptive.
- The new terrain looks as transformed as anything the test prep industry has previously navigated. It will require more resources, institutional experience, technical expertise, and specialization than ever before to properly respond to the needs of the market. Compass is ready, and our students will be, too.
- Almost all students in the class of 2024 will finish their testing before the arrival of the digital SAT.
- The class of 2025 will be the first U.S. class to be confronted by the PSAT and SAT’s move to a digital, adaptive format.
College Board will offer an international digital SAT in March 2023. In the U.S., the PSAT will change to digital in October 2023, with the SAT following in March 2024.
- Test specifications are available here.
- College Board’s Bluebook practice testing app is now available with four practice SATs. PSATs and additional SATs will be added over time.
- Khan Academy has released an initial set of practice materials.
- Students, high schools, and colleges will not need to learn new scoring. College Board will continue with 200-800 scoring, and no concordance is needed. A 620 on a paper test is meant to equate to a 620 on the digital SAT.
- There is every indication that colleges will superscore across paper and digital SATs. Advanced juniors may choose to test on paper in the fall of 2023 and re-test on the digital form in the spring of 2024.
Differences Between the New Digital SAT and Paper Tests: Overview

| Format | Digital only via a College Board app | Paper-and-Pencil | Paper-and-Pencil |
| Timing | 2 hours and 14 minutes | 3 hours | 2 hours and 55 minutes |
| Accommodations | All current accommodations will be maintained. Students whose accommodations require a paper test will still be able to take a paper-and-pencil test. | ||
| Structure | Stage Adaptive The difficulty of a section's second stage is based on performance in the first stage; the test tailors the second stage to the student | Static The test does not change based on a student's performance | |
| Sections | 2 Sections, each with 2 Stages Reading and Writing Combined R&W Stage 1 (32 min, 27 items) Combined R&W Stage 2 (32 min, 27 items) Math Math Stage 1 (35 min, 22 items) Math Stage 2 (35 min, 22 items) | 2 Sections, each with 2 Parts Reading and Writing Reading (65 min, 52 items) Writing (35 min, 44 items) Math Math: No Calculator (25 min, 20 items) Math: Calculator (55 min, 38 items) | Math (60 minutes, 60 items) Reading (35 min, 40 items) Science (35 min, 40 items) Optional Essay (40 minutes, 1 item) |
| Equating or Unscored Questions | Both the Reading and Writing and the Math tests will have 4 unscored questions mixed in with the scored questions | Students often receive a fifth section of unscored questions that are used for equating purposes | |
| Test Scores | 400-1600 Total Score 200-800 Reading and Writing | 200-800 Math College Board has indicated that current and digital SAT scores will be equivalent An ACT/SAT Concordance is used by colleges to compare SAT and ACT scores, and according to College Board, this same concordance will be valid for the new digital SAT | 1-36 Composite Score (rounded average of test scores) 1-36 each test: English, Math, Reading, and Science |

Details on the Digital, Adaptive SAT:
Administration
- National dates will remain unchanged for now.
- School day testing will enjoy even greater flexibility: broad testing windows, staggering students throughout the day or across a week or month. Easy make-ups for absences. However, there will be limits to re-testing within a window.
- National testing could eventually offer more flexibility: staggered start times throughout the day, for example.
- This is not an at-home exam. Students will test at school or a testing site.
- Students have many options for testing devices. They may use their own laptops (Windows or MacOS), iPads, school-owned desktops and laptops, and school-managed Chromebooks.
- Bandwidth requirements are minimal. The entire test is cached and encrypted, so an internet disruption should not prevent the completion of an exam. The exam results can even be uploaded after the test has already been completed. When a proctor says, “Pencils down,” on a paper test, it is difficult to enforce securely. The computer can easily end the student’s exam and keep the results secure
Accommodations
- Existing accommodations will be maintained and most will be provided in the digital, adaptive format.
- Students with extended time will not be allowed to end a section early to advance.
- For accommodations that cannot be provided digitally (e.g., Braille), students will take a longer, 3-hour, non-digital and non-adaptive exam.
Stage Adaptive, The Basics
- The adaptive nature of the exam is essential to making it a much shorter test — cutting testing time by one-third.
- When a student connects the app to the internet and starts a test, the app downloads three sets of questions (modules) per section to the testing device.
- Each section is broken into two stages:
- Reading & Writing contains two stages of 27 questions in 32 minutes
- Math contains two stages of 22 questions in 35 minutes
- All students take the test in the following order: Reading & Writing Stage 1, Reading & Writing Stage 2, Break, Math Stage 1, Math Stage 2
- The SAT is not item-adaptive, where every question varies based on performance (like the GMAT). Rather, it is stage-adaptive (like the GRE). It will only adapt once for Reading & Writing and only once for Math. This lowers the stakes on any one question and also preserves the ability to go backward and forward within a stage.
- The first stage of each section is not adaptive (item difficulty will not “adapt” to a student’s performance) and it contains a full range of question difficulty.
- At the end of the first stage, the test will choose which of the two remaining modules is an appropriate level of difficulty: one module will be on average easier and the other module will be on average more difficult. This shift in difficulty is critical to getting to an accurate score on a shorter test. Both modules contain easy, medium, and hard problems.
- Students will receive scores more quickly but will not be able to access their test questions after the exam.
