Emily Crane is reporting for the New York Post the SAT exam is moving online and will now be shorter, the College Board revealed on January 25. The upcoming changes will be rolled out in the U.S. in 2024. The changes are expected to help keep the test relevant as more colleges make standardized tests optional for admission. Students taking the exam will be allowed to use their own laptops or tablets, but will still have to sit for the exam at a monitored testing site or school, the College Board said. The new online version will also reduce the exam time by one hour, making the reading, writing and math assessment roughly two hours instead of three. The test will also feature shorter reading passages with one question tied to each and calculators will be permitted for the full duration of the math section. Also, test-takers will be sent their scores within days, instead of weeks, administrators said. “The digital SAT will be easier to take, easier to give, and more relevant,” said Priscilla Rodriguez, vice president of college readiness assessments at the College Board. “We’re not simply putting the current SAT on a digital platform — we’re taking full advantage of what delivering an assessment digitally makes possible."
