The Digital SAT is the updated version of the SAT, delivered entirely on a computer or tablet. It replaces the traditional paper-and-pencil format and includes adaptive testing to provide a more streamlined experience.

Students can take the Digital SAT on a laptop or tablet. You may use your own device, or the College Board will provide one if needed. Make sure your device meets the technical requirements and is fully charged on test day.
Yes, calculators are allowed for the entire Math section. The test platform also includes a built-in digital calculator, or students can bring their own approved calculator.
