Helping Your Teen Succeed on the Digital SAT: What Parents Need to Know

Written By Justin Green

If you’re the parent of a high school junior or senior, you’ve probably already heard: the SAT has gone digital. For many families, this change brings uncertainty—what does the new test look like, how should students prepare, and what resources actually work?

At Accepted, Inc., we’ve been helping students navigate these exact questions. Our Digital SAT Prep Book 2024–2025 has quickly become a bestseller this fall, and it’s designed to help students (and parents!) feel confident about this important milestone.

📌 What’s Different About the Digital SAT?

The new SAT is:

  • Shorter — 98 questions in just over 2 hours (compared to the old 3+ hour version).

  • More streamlined — Only two sections: Reading & Writing and Mathematics.

  • More practical — Students can now use an approved calculator on the entire math portion.

  • More relevant — Passages are shorter and more aligned with what students actually read in school.

For parents, this means it’s more important than ever to ensure your teen is not just practicing content, but also building comfort with the digital format.

📘 How Our Study Guide Supports Students

The Digital SAT Prep Book 2024–2025 is built with busy students (and supportive parents) in mind:

  • Quick reviews of all SAT concepts

  • 2 full-length practice tests with detailed answer explanations

  • Tips and tricks from experienced educators

  • Online extras: flash cards, cheat sheets, review questions, and even a short video called “From Stress to Success” to ease test anxiety

It’s everything your student needs to prepare efficiently—without the “fluff” of traditional prep books.

👨‍👩‍👧 How Parents Can Help

As a parent, you play a key role in your student’s test prep success. A few ways you can support them:

  • Encourage consistent, short practice sessions instead of last-minute cramming.

  • Help them set up a quiet study space free of distractions.

  • Use practice test results as a conversation starter—celebrate strengths and identify areas to focus on.

🎓 The Path to College Starts Here

The SAT is just one part of the college application journey, but it’s an important one. With the right preparation, your teen can walk into test day feeling ready, confident, and focused.
