- I have been practicing the Khan Academy non-digital SAT Math questions (I had started it before Khan Academy rolled out the digital practice problems). Are they the same as the digital SAT Math problems? Should I complete the non-digital SAT Math program since it's been tracking my progress or should I switch to the digital SAT one ASAP? I will be taking the digital SAT. Thanks.(5 votes)

- Does the SAT include breaks in-between reading/writing and math sections? How long are they, and what happens if you finish earlier than everyone else?(2 votes)
- Yes, it does. There is a 10 minute break between the Reading/Writing and Math sections, and in it you're free to have a snack or relax. If you finish the questions earlier than anyone else, you can't start the other section, or work ahead in any way. You could check your answers, or just sit patiently and twiddle your thumbs.(2 votes)
- If you take both the paper-pencil SAT and the Digital SAT will you be able to super score between the two tests?
Like if my best scores are 770 in math from the paper pencil SAT and 730 in reading and writing from the Digital SAT, can I super score 1500?(2 votes) - What is the new format, structure of the Digital SAT?(2 votes)
