A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
The College Board announced Tuesday that the SAT will be delivered digitally in the U.S. in 2024.
Why it matters: The College Board said it's seeking to make the SAT "more relevant," as some colleges start to ditch the college admissions exam altogether.
Driving the news: The college admissions test will also shrink from three hours to two, with more time per question.
"The digital SAT will be easier to take, easier to give, and more relevant," Priscilla Rodriguez, vice president of College Readiness Assessments at College Board, said in a statement.
Students will still be required to take the exam in a school or in a test center, not at home, and the exam will be graded on a 1600 scale.
The change makes the test easier to administer, and "schools will have more options for when, where, and how often they administer the SAT," according to the announcement.
The shift to digital will begin internationally in 2023.

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations.
