"U.S. Students to Take SAT Exam Fully Online for the First Time"
TL;DR
The SAT will be administered entirely online for the first time in the U.S. this weekend, marking a significant shift from the traditional pencil-and-paper format. The move comes as colleges grapple with the role of standardized tests in admissions, with many dropping test requirements and others resuming them. While some students see advantages in taking the SAT, concerns about equity persist, as the test prep and access to resources can heavily influence scores. The digital SAT aims to address some of these concerns, but the debate around equity and standardized testing continues.
