Understanding the Digital SAT

The Digital SAT is the latest evolution of the standardized college admissions exam, and it's crucial to understand its format and structure.

Additionally, I'll share effective strategies to tackle each question type efficiently, ensuring you can confidently navigate the Digital SAT.

I'll introduce you to powerful test-taking strategies that will help you make the most of the new digital format. From leveraging the digital tools to smartly answering questions, you'll gain a competitive edge on test day.
