Questions from parents
Digital SAT prep FAQ
How is the Digital SAT structured?
The Digital SAT has two sections, Reading and Writing (54 questions, 64 minutes) and Math (44 questions, 70 minutes), each split into two modules. Total testing time is about 2 hours and 14 minutes, with a 10-minute break.
What does adaptive testing mean?
Each section is section-adaptive. Performance on the first module determines whether the second module is easier or harder, which affects the score range a student can reach.
Is a calculator allowed?
Yes. A calculator is allowed on the entire Math section, and the Bluebook app includes a built-in Desmos graphing calculator. We teach students when Desmos is faster and when to solve by hand.
When should my child take the SAT?
Many students take the SAT for the first time in the spring of junior year, which leaves time for a second attempt. The diagnostic helps choose a test date that fits your child's starting point and goals.
What happens during the free SAT diagnostic?
Your child takes a timed Digital SAT diagnostic. We review the results with you, explain strengths and gaps by section, and recommend a study plan. There is no cost or obligation.
Is AhmedPrep affiliated with the College Board?
No. AhmedPrep is an independent test preparation provider. SAT is a trademark of the College Board, which is not affiliated with AhmedPrep.
