(From NPR) The SAT transitioned to a fully digital format earlier this week. Students now use their own devices or school-provided ones, with the test shortened by an hour, featuring shorter reading passages, and incorporating digital tools like a highlighter and graphing calculator. The change aims to prevent cheating and simplify grading. The digital SAT, expected to be taken by over 1 million students, reflects a broader trend toward digital education and assessment.
