Digital SAT: Easy or Hard?

I've been practicing for my SATs recently, and I noticed there's an option for a digital SAT. Has anyone given it? Is it easier compared to the traditional paper test?

There's generally not a drastic difference in the difficulty level of the content between a digital SAT and the traditional paper-based version. Both formats test students on the same areas: Math, Evidence-Based Reading, and Writing and Language. Essentially, the digital SAT covers the same content as the paper test. However, test-taking strategies may vary due to the nature of the format.

One advantage of the digital format is that there are fewer chances for human error, like incorrectly filling in a bubble on the answer sheet. Also, the digital test provides real-time score reports, giving you immediate feedback.

On the flip side, some may find it challenging due to the need for basic computer skills and the potential for technical difficulties. Also, scrolling through the questions on a screen may not be as tactile or straightforward as flipping through a paper-bound test book, which could impact your pacing.

The switch to digital might seem intimidating but remember, the content of what you're being tested on remains the same. The best way to understand if the digital format works for you is to take practice tests on the Bluebook™ app, which allows you to preview and practice the digital format. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and what you're comfortable with. If you've been doing well on your online practice tests, the digital format could be a good option for you.
