The Digital SAT (DSAT)

A Welcome Change

We are excited about the ‘new’ SAT. When the SAT changed in March 2016, it was a better and more relevant version of the earlier bulky vocabulary -intensive SAT. If that is an experience to judge by, the Digital SAT (DSAT) is, in all probability, going to give the SAT a fresh lease of life. As a robust training center engaged in training for the ACT, AP and SAT for many years, Option loves challenges and invariably is ready well in advance to face them. Our active engagement with students writing the erstwhile SAT version since 2016 has afforded us opportunities to gauge not only test takers but also the test: year after year and test after test, we trained students – some succumbed, some struggled, some survived, and many excelled despite the challenges and idiosyncrasies of the test.

This obviously allowed us to identify the pros and cons as well as the deficiencies of the test. By end 2019, it was almost certain that the test was assuming an aggressive posture and was nowhere as simple as many prep materials made it out to be. In particular, the READING SECTION was the gordian knot of the exercise and proved fatal even for many academically sound students because of the sheer length of the passages, the excess of the questions on each passage and the obvious paucity of time – a recipe for disaster and that too at the start of the test!!!!! Another disconcerting aspect of the earlier SAT was the inclusion of calculator and non-calculator MATH SECTIONS.  

That the DSAT – prima facie- has been engineered to create a more flexible, conducive, and relevant test prep and test taking experience is obvious. The most attractive feature of the test is that it is shorter – 2 hours some minutes only! That alone should put students in a comfortable space viz a viz the test. And the fact that the test shall be administered 7 times in the year and that results shall be declared in a few days (not 2+ weeks!!!) leave us very sure that more students will be willing to attempt the test.

The Reading and Writing and Language Sections of the previous SAT have been merged into a single section – Reading and Writing (R&W) – comprising of short passages each followed by a discrete question. The passages being so many, the topics are diverse and essentially relevant to the kind of resources students will engage with in college. The R&W section is broken down into 2 modules of 32 minutes each: a student’s performance in module 1 will determine the level of questions in module 2. Also, students can move back and forth to tackle questions within a module; they can flag questions for later review and even annotate parts of a question to grapple with it better – features that make for a more engaging test experience.

The DSAT has blended the 2 MATH SECTIONS into a single section comprising of 2 modules of 35 minutes each. Questions test your ability to solve problems and use appropriate approaches and tools strategically. The range of topics covered has been expanded and the math section has been segregated into Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-solving & Data Analysis, and Trigonometry & Geometry.The main advantage of digital SAT is that  the calculator will be allowed for all math questions. Students can bring their own approved calculator or use the provided on-screen calculator.

In sum, trainers and students can look forward to a ‘different’ teaching and learning experience. The emphasis of the DSAT is clearly to woo students and to test their skills of knowledge and observation rather than their skills of speed and endurance. Is this not what ‘good’ academic institutions look for? By all standards, the College Board has righted most of the wrongs of the previous version of the SAT and we welcome the DSAT enthusiastically!

Good Luck!!!!

To this end, we provide professional and experienced counselling to prospective students and their parents and draw up the short-term and long-term objectives of study programs. We also require students to take evaluation tests prior to starting their programs to allow the trainers to anticipate the outcome of the training program in the case of each student. This allows us to work smart and to work well. Once in the class, the student is regularly assessed to record the progress, and accordingly the schedules are adjusted to optimize output.

Keeping in mind that students need to traverse detailed content for many of the courses, we take care to offer comprehensive classroom training and professional preparation material that helps students condition themselves to doing their best at the exam. This study material and the classroom programs are developed by experts after years of research and experience in the related areas. At the same time, the programs are tailored according to the individual needs of the candidates and constructed with a view to make the preparation fun, easily graspable and most effective.

    Nirvan Jethwani – AP Student

    Dear Option, I took my AP exam this summer and achieved my target score of a grade 5. I could not have done this without the help of the trainers of Team Option who taught me the whole course and gave me countless test resources to help me achieve my grade. The trainers taught me the whole course despite the fact that I had no previous exposure to CALCULUS AB. I am very happy with my overall experience at the institution and highly recommend  it to anyone else.

    Aliza Mithwani – AP Student

    I did AP Calculus AB and AP Physics C: Mechanics with Option Training Institute in the 2019-2020 academic year. I did not have the Calculus knowledge required for Physics C: Mechanics, but my trainer patiently taught me all the basics required. I was taught every concept clearly and my trainer only moved on once I was 100% sure about each concept. I was given weekly extra materials and homework to increase my practice. After I completed the material I was given many past papers as mock exams and then my trainer and I went over them one question at a time which was very helpful and gave me great clarity. Before my exam, I was feeling very calm as I felt very confident about the material and I finally scored a 5 in both AP Physics C: Mechanics and AP Calculus AB.

    There was no doubt about where I wanted to join for preparation for the GRE and for application assistance. From as early as 2001 when I joined Engineering studies in Jaipur I had seen my seniors go there and talk highly about the quality of services. My journey to the USA was meticulously planned and achieved by Option!!!!

    The private UCAT lessons at Option improved my daughter’s score greatly. The lessons were scheduled to fit in with her own and not interfere or affect her schoolwork, while still being very useful. Even with COVID-19 restrictions, lessons and practice resumed online and the tutors at Option were very supportive leading up to the exam date.Thanks to option.read more
