College Board announced another round of changes to the SAT test, now called the "Digital SAT Suite of Assessments" or "SAT Suite" for short. The biggest changes are that its
• shorter (2 hours instead of 3),
• online/digital,
• administered at school or at College Board testing centers, but
• students may use their own computers or a computer will be available for students to borrow,
• graphing calculators allowed on all math sections with students' own calculator allowed (certain restrictions on type of calculator allowed, but same restrictions as before) or a calculator emulator within the program of the test available,
• all tests will be different (probably questions drawn randomly from a massive question bank, as does the GRE, College Board's other computerized test),
• reading passages will be shorter with one question each (and will make selecting questions from a question bank more efficient)
• results will be available faster (although no news yet on how much faster),
• the new test will be rolled out at "international test centers in March of 2023 and at U.S. schools and test centers in spring of 2024" according to the timeline below (provided by College Board):
If you missed it, the changes already in effect are as follows: SAT II Subject Tests no longer offered, SAT Essay (optional section 5) no longer offered, SAT no longer has a guessing penalty, SAT has four answer choices (A, B, C, D) rather than five (up to E), SAT is based on a 1600 (highest) score system.
College Board abandoned plans to offer testing at home, since many problems arose in its at-home-testing trials during the Covid pandemic with students unable to have uninterrupted internet access for the three hours, with inadequate bandwidth issues, with access to technology at all in some households. The ACT, College Board's competitor, offers online testing for international test takers and for some US schools.
