The solution to mastering the new, digital SAT is practice.

The key difference, besides the digital format, is that the new SAT is adaptive and tailors the difficulty of a section’s second stage to how well a student scored on the first section. 

Blue Book

Annotate: Use the annotate tool to highlight text from a question or leave yourself a note.
Mark for Review: Use the bookmark icon to flag any question you want to come back to.
Option Eliminator: Cross out answer choices you think are wrong. You can undo this if you change your mind.

It is a tribute to you and your team that you can make such an academically rigorous program seem so much fun for them. We are impressed with how much my kids have developed academically and personally. Thank you again for the outstanding program you run and the compassionate way you took care of our kids.”
