Actually that is not the only difference - the new digital tests are shorter by 1 hour (new are 2 and old were 3), only 2 sections instead of 4, shorter reading passages on digital SATA, adaptive questions on digital SAT and you can use calculator on entire math section. Regardless, my recommendation to not start on SAT or ACT prep this early stands…so many kids have burnout and are just over it all by 12th grade (I’ve seen this is very bright and motivated kids)- not the best way to start college. IMHO it really does send the wrong message.
