SAT test scores play a crucial role in the admissions process for thousands of colleges and universities globally. Many schools around the world use SAT scores as an equitable measure to evaluate students whose grades and transcripts might hold different weight in different places.
Debuting in 2023, the digital SAT will be shorter, more concise and utilise state-of-the-art technology to improve test access, quality and delivery to students around the world. The test’s refresh will create a more equitable playing field and make testing a more favourable experience for all students.
Jeremiah Quinlan, Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid at Yale University, believes this is a win for all students – especially international applicants. “The new format will be more familiar, and the test easier to administer, more accessible and secure,” Quinlan said.
