Changes are coming to the SAT.
GettyThe SAT is going digital. College Board, which is the organization behind the college entrance exam, introduced a series of what it called “student-friendly” changes to the test, Tuesday.
Those changes include shortening the test to two hours instead of three, shorter reading passages, and the usage of calculators on the whole math portion.

“We’re not simply putting the current SAT on a digital platform—we’re taking full advantage of what delivering an assessment digitally makes possible,” Priscilla Rodriguez, vice president of College Readiness Assessments at College Board said in a statement.
Students will be able to use their own devices, school-issued devices, or use a laptop or tablet provided by College Board to take the exam. Changes will start internationally in 2023, and in the US in 2024.
The decision follows a November 2021 pilot program, where 80% of students said they found the digital experience to be less stressful.
