How will test questions on the SAT look different?

While we’re making changes to test content to better fit digital delivery, the digital SAT will continue to measure the same skills and knowledge that students are learning in high school and that matter most for college and career readiness.

Questions throughout the digital test will be more direct, and closely focused on assessing what students need to know to succeed in college and career. In the Reading and Writing section, instead of a few long reading passages with multiple questions per passage, students will see many shorter texts, each tied to just one question. For the Math section, questions in context (word problems) will be more concise than those on the current test.
