New Digital SAT Suite of Assessments

On the new digital adaptive versions of the SAT/PSAT suite of assessments, all 3 tests (PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, SAT) have the exact same number of questions and time allowed per section. The only difference between the tests is the level of difficulty and score ranges, which have not changed from the previous version of the assessments.
