    Essential strategies for success on the Digital SAT reading section

    Published on May 12, 2025

    The Digital SAT has changed the game for reading comprehension. Here are key strategies: SHORTER PASSAGES: Each passage is now only 25-150 words, making them much more manageable. ONE QUESTION PER PASSAGE: Focus intensely on understanding each short passage since there's only one question. ANNOTATION IS KEY: Use the digital annotation tools to mark important information. TIME MANAGEMENT: With shorter passages, you have more time per question - use it wisely. CONTEXT CLUES: Pay attention to transition words and relationships between ideas. These strategies will help you excel on the new format!
