The Most Overlooked SAT Resource: Physical Exams

The Digital SAT Resource Drought

At just three years old, the DSAT is brand new. Unfortunately, this means resources are scarce and with only seven official practice exams, students often hit a wall.

As SAT experts, we know effective test prep requires more. Real improvement comes from vast exposure to test-day questions, strategic review, and targeted adjustments. That's why we recommend the physical SATs.

Why Physical SAT Math Works

Though the overall exam has changed format, the Math section has not. The structure, pacing, and questions are strikingly similar, giving students more reps with the same problem-solving they’ll see on test day.

Skeptical? Let’s look at the evidence. College Board’s official question bank sources many of its questions directly (we mean, they’re quite literally copied and pasted) from the physical SATs. In addition, Educo students consistently report encountering identical problems on their official exams.

The formatting of the Digital exam might look different today, but the underlying logic, traps, and question types remain the same. There's no disadvantage: use the physical SATs.
