No, on the digital SAT, everyone gets a different question. Based on answers to questions, the difficulty or ease of the upcoming questions is adjusted. Thus, the question tested for one test taker will be different for the other test taker. Similar or patterned questions may be asked but not the same content questions.
Everyone got the same questions on SAT exam when the exam was a pencil-paper based test.

It feels less scary. The test is shorter now, only 2 hours. You can use a calculator for everything. But the questions are still tricky. dont get cocky. You still have to study hard.

Yes, it might be possible that SAT score is released on a public holiday. SAT scores are usually released before the weekend begins, that is, usually on a Friday. If SAT score release is delayed it may be possible that they are towards the weekend date (which usually doesn't happen).

College Board usually declares the date of SAT exam result. The result usually comes in 2-4 weeks time. On the stipulated date of SAT score release, applicants can log on to their College Board account by 08:00 p.m. IST and access their results. Thus, applicants should check their accounts on their designated date of score release and not before that. This is the only intimation that applicants can get through the website of College Board.

The difference between Khan Academy's prep and digital SAT prep is that,
- Khan Academy not just provides mock tests, they also have teaching videos to aid applicants with SAT prep.
- Khan Academy is the official partner of College Board for SAT exam prep after it became digitalised.
- On the other hand, College Board just has practice papers in PDF formats that can be downloaded for practice.
- College Board does not give any prep material.
- Also, only when applicants register for SAT, can they access Bluebook App where they can take mocks in the exact same format as they will on the exam day.

Yes, there are certain digital test taking startegies that applicants must learn when taking SAT exam and they are as follows:
- Understand how the digital SAT works, take a mock test to understand all features on Bluebook.
- Applicants must time themselves and keep a check on their time management skills.
- Like any other digital exam, applicants must know the elimination of wrong options to maintain momentum of exam.
- Mark the questions for review if you wish to come back and do not want to spend additional time on them.
- Ensure that you attempt all questions because there is no negative marking for wrong answers or unanswered questions als

Applicants can access official digital SAT practice tests as part of their preparation either at College Board's website or at Khan Academy website which is the official partner of College Board for preparation and practice. Once applicants register for SAT, they can set up their account on Bluebook App and take a mock test there also.

It is not necessary that applicants upload their photos right in the first go of SAT registration. Applicants can come back after paying for the SAT exam registration and still upload their headshot photos. Also they must note, that they must upload their photo at least five days before the actual exam date, following the phot requirements, else they will not be able to give the exam.
