Digital SAT Practice Tests Now Live
College Board releases practice exams for the new test format, showcases onscreen test-taking tools, including a Desmos calculator.
The moment everyone has been waiting for is here: full-length Digital SAT practice tests are available! Students who plan to take the digital version of the SAT now have access to four full-length exams via the College Board’s Bluebook app.
To guide you through this important update, we’ve created a brief FAQ below.
What’s this about an app? Where can I take these tests?
To access the exams, download the Bluebook app and log in using your College Board account credentials. The app includes a Test Preview setting to explore the new test format and practice using the digital tools (see below) on a couple of unscored problems before completing a full-length test.
The College Board has not announced plans to release more exams, but we anticipate they’ll eventually release up to eight to match the current number in the Official SAT Study Guide – though it could take until Spring 2024 (or later) to see additional tests. Accordingly, we advise students who are preparing to take the Digital PSAT in October 2023 or the Digital SAT in 2024 to approach these practice exams strategically, supplementing with the more ample paper-based practice material, as as opposed to working through them all at once.
What digital tools will I have?
The Bluebook app includes the following digital test-taking aids:
An answer eliminator tool
A tool that marks questions for review
A Desmos calculator (used on all math problems)
An annotation tool for highlighting text and typing notes
A math formula reference sheet
