Personalized digital SAT prep to boost your score

There are many changes, including:

• The Digital SAT is shorter than the paper SAT. The paper SAT used to take 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete, and the DSAT will take 2 hours and 14 minutes to complete. This means time management is even more critical than it was before.
• There are shorter reading passages and only one question per passage on the Digital SAT. On the paper SAT, there used to be multiple questions related to one long passage.
• The DSAT is adaptive. Depending on how you perform on the first Reading & Writing and Math modules, your second modules for each section may be easier or harder.
• Unlike the paper SAT, on the digital version, you will have access to a calculator for the entire math section. You can practice using the Desmos online graphing calculator here.

Khan Academy is an excellent free resource for learning and reviewing SAT concepts, and we encourage students to use it. However, Incublia was built specifically for the digital SAT and is the best platform to use to achieve your goal score. While Khan can help with initial concept review, Incublia provides:

• Personalized study plans that guarantee every minute of your prep counts.
• 9,000 targeted questions ideal for drilling weaknesses.
• 30 full-length practice tests (far more than the 8 official Bluebook tests) so you never run out of test-like practice.
• An AI tutor that gives detailed hints and explanations, and can explain things in a different way.

Use Khan Academy to start with some basic practice, then use Incublia for test-taking strategies, a custom study plan, and more to prepare you for test day.

This all depends on your baseline score, your target score, and your test date.

To see the most improvement, we recommend studying for at least 3 months for at least 10 hours per week. This can help students boost their score by ~100 points.

With 20 hours of studying per week for 3 months, students can boost their score by more than 150 points. Again, this greatly depends on their starting score.

For best results, we recommend following Incublia's Study Plan that dynamically updates as you take Incublia mock exams and work through problems in practice mode. For a complete roadmap including pacing and study planning, see our Ultimate SAT 2026 Guide.

Yes! Incublia includes PSAT support so students can prepare for the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in their junior year of high school. Students can watch their PSAT practice test scores improve as they study with Incublia so that by October of their junior year, they're ready to unlock scholarship opportunities. Read more on Incublia's PSAT prep page to learn why the PSAT/NMSQT is an important exam to prepare for.

This varies depending on the school you're applying to! This is a great resource to figure out what your target score should be based on a specific school. Don't forget that you can retake the SAT and submit a superscore to many schools as well.

Make sure to research the specific superscore policy for the colleges and universities you're applying to.
