The digital SAT is organized using a multistage testing adaptive testing (MST) system that aims to provide a more efficient and accurate assessment of a student's skills and knowledge. MST is a type of computerized testing that adapts to a student's ability level, presenting questions that are more or less difficult based on their responses. This approach allows for a more personalized and tailored testing experience, ultimately resulting in a more precise evaluation of a student's performance.

In the digital SAT, the MST system is implemented across two equal-length sections, each consisting of two modules of questions. Both sections have two modules of both Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. Each section is dvided into two modules has equal amount of time and the same amount of questions. (See chart below)

Additionally, each module is separately timed, with students having a specific amount of time to complete the questions within each module of that section.

Depending on how you do in the first module will determine if you move on to an easier or more difficult module for the second and last module of that section.

The College Board still combines your scaled scores from reading & writing and math for a maximum total number of 1600 points. (Combined score range of 400-1600)

You are not penalized for answering a question incorrectly. Your raw score represents the number of correct answeres on a specific section of the SAT.
