Questions people ask before choosing this path

Are the passages still long like the old SAT?

No. The digital SAT uses short passages or passage pairs with one question attached to each, which changes pacing and makes quick comprehension more important.

Does SAT Reading and Writing have a passing score?

No. Like SAT Math, the section is reported on a 200 to 800 scale, and the right target depends on your admissions goals.

What is the biggest mistake on this section?

Students often treat all wrong answers as “reading problems” when many misses actually come from grammar, wording, or not noticing what the question is asking you to revise.

What should I do after the readiness quiz?

Go straight into the article that matches your weakest pattern, then use the tutor to rehearse why the right answer is right and the tempting trap answers are wrong.
