SAT Exam Goes Fully Digital, Introduces Adaptive Format

The new digital SAT aims to reduce stress and increase relevance, featuring a shorter duration and tailored questions.

The SAT exam has transitioned to a fully digital format, offering a more streamlined and adaptive testing experience.
Starting Saturday, students in the U.S. will take the SAT online, using personal or school-issued devices at designated testing sites.
The digital SAT is shorter, taking two hours instead of three, and features shorter reading passages and a built-in calculator.
The new format adopts a multistage adaptive design, tailoring questions to test-takers' abilities and making it practically impossible to share answers.
The College Board aims to address inequities by providing devices for students who need them and ensuring the test remains a valuable tool for college admissions.
