Digital SAT Preparation

Built for the New Digital Format

The digital SAT is fundamentally different from the old paper test. We prepare you for the actual experience.

True Digital Experience

Practice on the actual Bluebook testing platform interface. Get comfortable with digital navigation, answer entry, and review features before test day.

Adaptive Module Simulation

Experience the real adaptive algorithm: Module 2 difficulty adjusts based on Module 1 performance. Practice the psychology of handling harder questions.

Desmos Mastery

Master the built-in Desmos calculator with interactive coaching. Learn graph shortcuts, table features, and when to use calculator vs. mental math.

Optimized for Shorter Format

The digital SAT is 2 hours vs. 3 hours for the old SAT. Our strategies are built for the new timing: 32 mins per Math module, 32 mins per R&W module.

Module-Specific Strategies

Different strategies for Module 1 (build confidence) vs. Module 2 (manage harder questions). Learn when to skip, guess, or persist.

Shorter Passages

Practice with the new shorter reading passages (150-250 words). Learn to extract information quickly and answer in context.

Desmos Calculator

Master the Built-In Desmos Calculator

The digital SAT includes a powerful Desmos graphing calculator for the entire Math section. Learn strategies Khan Academy won't teach.

Desmos Strategies You'll Learn

Graph functions to visualize solutions instantly
Use table feature to test values quickly
Find intersections to solve systems of equations
Verify answers by plugging back into equations
Graph inequalities to find solution regions
Use sliders to explore relationships

Why Desmos Matters

Students who effectively use Desmos save 30-50% of their time on Math modules, giving them more time to double-check answers and tackle harder problems.

Our AI tutor teaches you when to use Desmos, when to use algebra, and when to use mental math — strategies that can add 50-100 points to your Math score.

Adaptive Testing

Understand Adaptive Modules

The digital SAT adjusts Module 2 difficulty based on Module 1 performance. Learn the psychology and strategy.

Module 1 Strategy

Build confidence and accuracy. Getting more Module 1 questions right unlocks harder Module 2 questions — which means higher score potential.

Module 2 Psychology

Harder Module 2 questions are actually good — it means you did well in Module 1. Don't panic if Module 2 feels harder.

Time Management

Each module is 32 minutes for Math, 32 minutes for R&W. Learn when to skip, when to guess, and how to pace yourself.
