The SAT Is Set To Go Completely Digital by 2024

By 2024 the SAT will go completely digital in the United States; students will take the test on a tablet or laptop, which will shorten the test from three hours to two. This announcement has come as several colleges and universities have offered test-free and test-optional admissions. As of now, around 1,800 schools with not require the ACT or SAT for 2022 admissions. Additionally, the number of students taking the SAT has decreased substantially - 2.2 million in 2020 to 1.5 million in 2021. This includes the University of California system, which announced last year that tests like the ACT or SAT would no longer be a factor in their admissions process. Shortly after, Harvard announced they would follow suit for the next four years. These announcements come as the SAT has come under increasing criticism from those who say that the standardized test handicaps poor and minority students.
