Getting Ready for the Digital SAT? Here’s What You Need to Do First

Getting Started with the Digital SAT: What You Need to Know

If you're planning to take the digital SAT, this guide will walk you through how to download Bluebook,

complete a practice test, and request a fee waiver if you're eligible.

It's simple once you know what to do.

Step 1: Download the Bluebook App

Go to bluebook.collegeboard.org and click "Download Bluebook".
It's available for Windows, Mac, iPads, and Chromebooks.
Install the app on the device you’ll use for the test.

Step 2: Sign in with Your College Board Account

Use the same username and password you’ve used for other College Board services like the SAT, PSAT, or AP exams.
If you don’t have an account, go to collegeboard.org and create one.
Tip: Use the same account across all College Board platforms to keep your scores and test history together.

Step 3: Take a Full Practice Test

Open the Bluebook app and select “Practice and Prepare.”
Choose one of the full-length practice tests. 

Tests 5 and 6 are often regarded as the most reflective of the real SAT, with some users noting that Test 6 closely mirrors the actual exam's difficulty

Test 7 is also highlighted for its similarity to the real test, especially in the reading and writing sections

Tests 1 through 3 are generally considered easier and less indicative of the actual test's challenge

The digital SAT is adaptive, so make sure you finish both modules in each section.

You can review your scores right after or sync your progress with Khan Academy.

Step 4: Request a Fee Waiver (If Eligible)

If you qualify for free or reduced lunch or receive other public assistance, you may be eligible for a fee waiver.
Ask your school counselor for a fee waiver code before registering for the SAT.
Enter that code during SAT registration on the College Board website.

What the Fee Waiver Covers:

• Up to two free SAT test registrations
• No late registration fees
• Free score reports sent to colleges
• College application fee waivers at many schools

You’re all set. Once Bluebook is installed and your account is ready, start practicing and keep track of your progress.

Let me know in the comments if you have questions or need help.

Hope this helps !!!
