The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions at the undergraduate level across universities in the United States and Canada. The SAT is wholly owned, developed, and published by the College Board, a private, not-for-profit organization in the United States. It is administered on behalf of the College Board by the Educational Testing Service or ETS.
SAT exam update
Starting March 2023, the SAT will go digital, as the College Board will no longer offer Paper & Pencil test. Instead, candidates will take the test on a computer, and the test will be of shorter duration from 3 hours to 2 hours. Each test section (Reading and Writing; Math) is divided into two equal-length and separately timed stages, and each will have a module of questions. In the first module, students will answer questions ranging from easy to medium to challenging.
- Each section will include two modules. A test taker can spend approximately 30-35 minutes on each module.
- The digital SAT will be two-stage adaptive. A test taker’s performance in the first module will determine the difficulty of the questions in the second module of that section.
- Reading and Writing are combined into a single section on the new digital SAT. In the digital SAT, passages will be considerably shorter, and a single question will accompany each passage. Reading and Writing passages may contain informational graphics.
- The new digital SAT allows students to use calculators for the entire Math section. The testing app includes a graphing calculator.
