The Digital SAT is not simply a shorter version of the old exam. It is adaptive. It is interface-driven. And it rewards strategic decision-making as much as content knowledge. Students who approach it as “just another practice test” often plateau. Students who understand its structure tend to improve steadily. Preparation should reflect that difference. The Digital Format Changed the Exam Two modules per section. Adaptive scoring. Integrated tools. Shorter passages. Faster pa

Desmos is built into the Digital SAT math section. Most students know that. Far fewer know how to use it deliberately. The difference isn’t about knowing more features. It’s about knowing when a graph is faster than algebra, when a table reveals a pattern immediately, and when solving by hand is still the cleaner path. On a timed, adaptive exam, those decisions matter. The Calculator Is Standard. Strategy Is Not. Every student has access to the same built-in Desmos graphing c

If you’re starting chemistry, everything can feel abstract fast. Atoms, isotopes, molar mass, significant figures — it’s a lot to process all at once. That’s exactly why understanding the foundations of matter  is so important. When these core ideas make sense, everything else in chemistry becomes easier. This post breaks down what you actually  need to understand about matter — and how to study it efficiently. What Does “Foundations of Matter” Mean in Chemistry? In introduct

For many students, the transition from balancing simple equations to calculating pH , pK a , and buffer capacity  feels like hitting a brick wall. At that point, success depends less on arithmetic and more on understanding how protons (H⁺) transfer between molecules as reactions proceed. Understanding Brønsted-Lowry vs Lewis Acids One of the most common points of confusion is distinguishing between Brønsted-Lowry vs Lewis acids . While Brønsted-Lowry focuses on the proton, th
