The question types, tools and time per question match the real digital SAT. Reading and Writing covers every skill in the real order: Craft and Structure, Information and Ideas, Standard English Conventions, then Expression of Ideas. Each question has its own short passage and four choices, and no calculator is allowed. Math samples all four domains from easiest to hardest, with about a quarter of the questions asking you to type your answer. The graphing calculator and reference sheet are available throughout.

How to take it

Take it in one sitting, timed, in a quiet place, with no notes, no looking things up and no outside help. An honest baseline builds the right study plan.
There is no penalty for wrong answers, so answer every question. You can flag questions and move freely within a section.
Pacing: about 70 seconds per Reading and Writing question and about 95 seconds per Math question.

What you get: estimated section scores (200–800) and an estimated total (400–1600), usually accurate to within about ±40 points per section, plus a topic-by-topic breakdown. Your study plan starts with the highest-weight topics you missed.
