... Starting in March, the SAT will be digital.
The traditional paper-and-pencil format is no longer available, with rare
exceptions for students with visual impairments, severe reading disabilities, or
other documented challenges. Mia, who asked to use her first name only to avoid
harming her college prospects, said she has eye problems and gets headaches
when she stares at a screen for an extended period. The materials she's been
using to train since middle school, including Preliminary SATs (PSAT) and
practice SATs, were almost always in paper format. There are relatively few
digital prep materials. Other students expressed similar concerns, Mackey said.
“They felt an urgency ... to take the paper exam,” she said, knowing they
won’t have that option anymore. The new format comes amid fierce debates over
whether colleges should consider students' race in admissions and after some
colleges reinstated the test score requirement. High schools are also
scrambling to help teens navigate other changes, such as the bumpy rollout of
the new federal financial aid application.
