What's Changed with the SAT

In March 2024, the SAT went digital for all US test takers. Here's what changed:

Shorter Exam

The Digital SAT is an hour shorter than the paper SAT, so time management is even more critical than it was before.

Reading & Writing

There are shorter reading passages and only one question per passage on the Digital SAT. Share our SAT Reading & Writing guide with your teen so they know what to expect.

Adaptive Test

Depending on how you perform on the first Reading & Writing and Math modules, your second modules for each section may be easier or harder. Our Ultimate SAT 2026 guide covers adaptive scoring in context.

Desmos

Unlike the paper SAT, on the digital version, you will have access to the Desmos online graphing calculator for the entire math section. See our Desmos cheat sheet for tips and shortcuts your teen can use.

What's Changed with the ACT

In September 2025, all paper and digital ACTs were aligned to the new Enhanced format. Here's what changed:

Shorter Exam

The Enhanced ACT is 70 minutes shorter than the original ACT, so time management is even more critical than it was before.

Answer choices

In the new ACT math section, there are now four answer options rather than five.

Optional Science

The ACT Science section is now completely optional (and the Writing section continues to be optional). Help your teen decide if Science is right for them with our ACT Science guide.

Paper or Digital

Students can choose between taking the Enhanced ACT as a paper test or digitally. Our Digital ACT guide compares the two formats.

Desmos

On the digital version of the Enhanced ACT, you will have access to the Desmos online graphing calculator for the entire math section. Send your teen this ACT Desmos calculator guide for tips and shortcuts they can use.

What is Desmos?

Desmos is an online graphing calculator that is built into the testing experience for the digital SAT and the digital ACT. Here are some of the main reasons Desmos is a gamechanger for students. Explore our Desmos guide library, SAT Desmos cheat sheet, and ACT Desmos calculator guide for more.

Loved the study plan!

Incublia provided easy-to-follow study plans that helped me organize what topics to focus on everyday. As a very involved student in my community, using these study plans allowed me to effectively balance my daily schedule and still have time to master the content

I really loved Incublia!

The fact that it would explain answers was super helpful in understanding what I got wrong. I also really loved the way that it allowed you to practice similar questions when you got one wrong. This program got me a terrific score, so thank you Incublia!
