The SAT test taken by prospective college students across the country will go all-digital starting in 2024, the College Board announced in a statement Tuesday. “The digital SAT will be easier to take, easier to give, and more relevant,” said Priscilla Rodriguez, vice president of College Readiness Assessments at College Board. 80% of students said they found it less stressful, and 100% of educators reported a positive experience, according to the College Board. The move to a digital test will apply to all of the SAT Suite. The decision comes as the College Board has felt increasing pressure to change its stress-inducing test in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and the test’s growing irrelevance.
