Introducing SAT Math — Practice the Digital SAT, the Way the SAT Is Run

The Digital SAT changed how students should prep, but most prep books are still teaching the paper exam. Question banks dump 1,000 problems in random order with no timer. Textbooks march you through chapters that don't match how the test is actually scored. So we built something different.

SAT Math at Texas CBE mirrors the real Digital SAT Math section exactly — same 44 questions, same 70 minutes, same two-module rhythm. Three practice formats let you train at the pace that fits your day:

Three formats. One real SAT.

  • Quick Drill — 10 questions / 15 minutes / Free forever. A fixed sample set so you can revisit and re-attempt. No login required, instant feedback after every answer.
  • Module Practice — 22 questions / 35 minutes. The length of one real Digital SAT Math module. Random fresh questions every session — pulled from a 400+ pool, so two consecutive sessions overlap less than 8 percent.
  • Full Math — 44 questions / 70 minutes. The complete SAT Math section. Same timing, same pacing pressure, real exam feel.

The Digital SAT averages about 1.6 minutes per math question. Most prep books ignore that. We don't.

420 original questions, mapped to the actual SAT content domains

The College Board publishes the Digital SAT Math weightings: roughly 35% Algebra, 35% Advanced Math, 15% Problem-Solving & Data Analysis, 15% Geometry & Trigonometry. Our pool matches that distribution exactly — 120 Algebra, 120 Advanced Math, 75 PSD, 105 Geometry.

Every question is original. We use universal mathematical facts (linear equations, the Pythagorean theorem, exponential growth) with randomized parameters and generic real-world contexts. Nothing is copied from a College Board release — SAT is a registered trademark of College Board, and we have no affiliation with them.

Inside each domain we cover the actual sub-categories that show up:

  • Algebra: Linear equations (one and two variables), linear inequalities, systems of equations, slope from two points, point-slope form, interpreting slope in context
  • Advanced Math: Quadratic factoring, vertex form, discriminants, polynomial expansion, exponential growth, function evaluation, function composition
  • Problem-Solving & Data Analysis: Percent change, ratio & proportion, mean of a dataset, simple probability, two-way percent tables
  • Geometry & Trig: Pythagorean theorem, SOHCAHTOA, circle area & arc length, similar triangles, triangle area, rectangular volume

135 questions come with auto-generated diagrams

Math is visual. A right-triangle trig question without a triangle is just text gymnastics. So we ship every geometry question with a standardized inline SVG diagram — right triangles labeled with actual side lengths, circles with their radius drawn, parabolas plotted at the function's exact vertex, coordinate planes with the two given points marked.

Same color palette, same font sizes, same stroke widths across every diagram. Programmatically verified — every label number in the SVG matches the number in the question prompt. 133 of 133 SVG questions pass automated verification.

Per-domain weak-area analytics

After you start practicing, the dashboard surfaces a SAT Math stats card showing your accuracy, attempts, mastered count, and struggling count — broken out by domain (ALG / ADV / PSD / GEO) with color-coded progress bars. The card flags your weakest domain and lists the top-5 questions you keep missing, with one-click drilldown so you can review the explanation and try again.

Most prep platforms tell you a single score. We tell you exactly where to focus next.

Pricing

  • Free forever: Quick Drill (10 questions, 15 min, instant feedback, AI explanations).
  • Premium: $19.99 for 6 months. Unlocks Module Practice + Full Math, fresh random sessions from the full 400+ pool, and the per-domain weak-area analytics dashboard.

One paid SAT prep book runs $30–$50 and doesn't update. We're $19.99 for half a year, and the question pool refreshes — new sub-category templates ship as we add them, and Module Practice / Full Math sessions never repeat the same draw.

Start now

Start with the free Quick Drill — no signup, no payment, 10 real Digital SAT-format questions in 15 minutes. If it clicks, unlock Module Practice and Full Math for $19.99 and train at the pace of the real exam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's different about the Digital SAT?
Fully digital via Bluebook app, shorter (~2h 14min total vs. 3h paper), section-adaptive (Math: easier section 1 → harder section 2 based on performance), and includes a built-in Desmos calculator on every Math question.
What's on the Digital SAT Math?
Algebra (35%), Advanced Math (35%), Problem-Solving and Data Analysis (15%), Geometry and Trigonometry (15%). 44 questions across 2 adaptive sections in 70 minutes.
Can I use a calculator on the Digital SAT?
Yes — every Math question has a built-in Desmos graphing calculator in the Bluebook app. You can also bring your own approved calculator (TI-84, TI-Nspire CX non-CAS).
How does Texas CBE™ SAT Math practice work?
Three modes mirroring the digital format: Quick Drill (10 Q / 15 min for skill building), Module Practice (22 Q / 35 min mimicking one adaptive section), Full Math (44 Q / 70 min mimicking a full Math test).
Is the Digital SAT easier than the paper SAT?
Different, not easier. The adaptive nature means strong test-takers see harder questions in section 2; weaker test-takers see easier questions. Scoring is calibrated so a 1400 still represents the same percentile.
