"Adapting to Change: The Impact of the All-Digital SAT on College Admissions"
The SAT, traditionally administered on paper for 98 years, has transitioned to an all-digital format, receiving positive feedback from students despite some technical glitches. The new format, shorter and faster, allows test takers to set their own pace and is seen as more in line with the digital era. The change reflects the challenges of a generation raised in an era of higher anxiety, challenged attention spans, and remote learning, while the College Board and proponents of standardized testing maintain that the exams still play a role in determining college acceptance and aptitude.
