A digital SAT refers to the computer-based version of the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT), a standardized test widely used for college admissions  to undergraduate programs in various universities and colleges in countries such as the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, Singapore, Netherlands, India etc. Digital SAT is administered by the College Board and is designed to measure a student’s readiness for college by assessing their skills in Critical Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.

The SAT score is broken up into two halves: The Reading and Writing modules are scored between 200-800 points. The Math modules are scored between 200-800 points. The total SAT score is therefore between 400-1600 points, with a 1600 being a perfect score, and a 1100 being approximately an average score. There is no penalty for guessing, so be sure to answer every question, including student produced response questions on the math modules

There is not a “passing” score on the SAT—a good score for you depends on your specific goals for college admissions. Check out the College Board website for detailed information on typical scores for admitted students at schools throughout the United States.

The test will be shorter, around 2 hours 14 min, with fewer questions. It becomes adaptive, adjusting difficulty based on your performance. Reading and Writing will combine into one module with shorter passages. The "no calculator" section is eliminated, and a built-in Desmos calculator is provided. Math questions will be less wordy, and students can still use their approved calculators. For more information on the differences between Digital SAT and Paper SAT please refer to this link
