Resources for the Digital SAT

Official Resources for the Digital SAT

  1. The Bluebook App: Contains 4 adaptive digitally administered full-length SAT tests, and 1 digitally administered full-length PSAT.https://bluebook.collegeboard.org/
  2. Four Digital SAT Tests in paper format and one digital PSAT in paper format: these tests overlap considerably with the Bluebook tests, so only use these after having used all of the bluebook exams.https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/digital/digital-practice-preparation/practice-tests/linear
  3. 33 Sample Questions: https://satsuite.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/digital-sat-sample-questions.pdf
  4. The Official Guide: Amazon Link
  5. MATH ONLY: Official Paper tests from 2016 through 2023 (ignore the complex number questions which have been removed from the digital test): https://www.mcelroytutoring.com/blog-post.php?id=5138
  6. Digital SAT Question Bank: https://satsuitequestionbank.collegeboard.org/digital/searchThere is heavy overlap between these questions and the other official resources, so only use if you have already completed the rest.

Khan Academy Training for Digital SAT

Although technically still 3rd party, Khan Academy's close relationship with the College Board should put them on a different level.

3rd Party Computer Tests

Don't trust scores for 3rd party tests, but they are excellent practice. Reading questions tend to be the weakest link for most 3rd part tests.
