Big Changes are coming to the SAT, and not everyone is happy. What students should know:

USA Today

... 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.
