Pencils down: College Board announces the SAT is going digital [View all]
The SAT, once viewed as a critical step to getting into college, will be shorter and administered online amid a major shift in its format brought on by the pandemic and the test's growing irrelevance.
The paper test currently takes roughly three hours to complete, but the digital version will be cut down to about two hours with more time given in between questions, the College Board announced Tuesday.
“The digital SAT will be easier to take, easier to give, and more relevant,” Priscilla Rodriguez, vice president of College Readiness Assessments at the College Board, said in a news release.
The test will start online in the U.S. in 2024, and internationally in 2023.
The College Board, which administers the SAT, PSAT and other college-entrance exams, announced a number of other changes to the test.
