Hello everyone! I've heard some rumors about the SAT changing in 2024. Does anyone have any official info or perhaps a link to a reliable source with details on the changes? I want to make sure I'm preparing for the right stuff. Thanks!
You're correct that the SAT has gone through changes in 2024. The most notable shift is that the SAT is now fully digital, with the structure of the test altered to:
Reading and Writing: two 32-minute modules, to complete 54 questions. You have about 71 seconds per question.
Math: two 35-minute modules, to complete 44 questions. You have 96 seconds per question, or a little over a minute and a half.
The total duration of the digital SAT is 134 minutes, to complete 98 questions.
Additionally, the new digital SAT allows the use of a calculator on both math modules, meaning there's no longer a no-calculator section.
To prepare for the new digital SAT, I recommend using the Bluebook™ app. It provides an official preview experience where you can take a full-length digital practice test. This app will give you an idea of what to expect on test day.
Good luck with your SAT preparation!
