Has SAT exam syllabus reduced after going digital?

<p>The SAT exam's syllabus has indeed shrunk since it went digital. The test's overall length and question count have been shortened, which is one of the most noticeable modifications. Instead of lasting three hours as it did in the past, the digital SAT is only two hours long. The new exam comprises 98 questions instead of the 154 in the old paper-based version, which is a significant reduction in question count. Additionally, instead of having distinct sections for Reading, Writing, Math, and an optional Essay, the new SAT only consists of two primary portions: Math and Reading and Writing (combined). While some sections, such sentence correction, have been removed, the test's content has been simplified to concentrate more on useful, real-world abilities like reading comprehension, problem-solving, and data analysis. With these modifications, the test will still evaluate the fundamental abilities needed for college readiness while being more effective, user-friendly, and pertinent to contemporary educational demands.</p>
