The SAT is a standardized test administered by College Board. Some universities use it as part of undergraduate admissions. You take the Digital SAT in the Bluebook app at an approved test center or through a school testing program.
How the Digital SAT is organized
- Reading and Writing has 54 questions in 64 minutes. You get two 32-minute modules with 27 questions each.
- Math has 44 questions in 70 minutes. You get two 35-minute modules with 22 questions each. You may use Bluebook’s built-in Desmos calculator throughout Math.
- The test takes 2 hours and 14 minutes of testing time, plus a 10-minute break between the two sections.
How the adaptive format works
Each section has two modules. Your performance in the first module determines which second module you receive in that section. You can review questions while your current module is open. Once it ends, you move forward to the next module or section.
How scoring works
Reading and Writing and Math are each scored from 200 to 800. The two section scores add up to a total between 400 and 1600. College Board uses the characteristics of the questions you answer as part of its scoring model, so a raw count of correct answers does not translate into a fixed score.
Take your first practice test
Open Bluebook practice and take a full-length practice test under timed conditions. Review both section scores and note which skills cost you the most time or points. If you plan to test from Nepal, check College Board’s international registration information and look for available test centers before choosing a date.
