From March 2023, international students will be able to take the SAT test digitally at a test centre or in their school.

“The digital SAT will be easier to take, easier to give and more relevant,” said Priscilla Rodriguez, vice-president of College Readiness Assessments at College Board. “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. With input from educators and students, we are adapting to ensure we continue to meet their evolving needs.”
