Digital Sat Math: Exam Prep Strategies for Higher Scores
Your first module decides how hard the second one is. Here’s how to pace both and use the built-in calculator well.
The digital SAT splits math into two modules. How you do in the first decides whether your second module is easier or harder, and the harder route is where the top scores live.

Use the built-in graphing calculator
A graphing calculator is built into the test for the whole math section. Practise solving systems and quadratics by graphing so you can check algebra in seconds.
A four-week plan

- Weeks 2–3: two weak topics per week with targeted question sets
- Week 4: two timed practice tests and a review of your mistakes log
