The SAT exam will move from paper and pencil to a digital format, administrators announced, saying the shift will boost its relevancy as more colleges make standardized tests optional for admission.
The pandemic accelerated the trend as testing sessions were canceled or inaccessible.
About 1.5 million members of the class of 2021 took the SAT at least once, down from 2.2 million in the previous year. A College Board survey found many students want to take the SAT to preserve the option of submitting the scores and qualifying for certain scholarships. “We want to present students with a wider range of information and resources about their post-secondary options,” she said.
“The digital version, I thought, was a lot less stressful than the paper and pencil version. It felt a lot more familiar,” said Natalia Cossio, 16, of Fairfax County, Virginia, who took part in a November pilot after first taking the PSAT on paper.
