The maker of a test some colleges use to decide who to accept, the SAT, said it will stop offering students paper tests by 2024. The SAT is a standardized test. That means it is the same for everyone who takes it on the same date. The College Board in New York City creates the SAT and PSAT tests. Most American students take these tests before applying to college. The organization said it will no longer provide paper tests for international students in 2023 and, a year later, for American students. The test also will be one hour shorter and given to students on a computer, the organization said. However, students will still need to take the test at a school or testing center. Priscilla Rodriguez is the vice president for college readiness at the College Board. She said the test will be “easier to take, easier to give, and more relevant.” The SAT tests a student’s knowledge of math, reading and writing. It takes at least three hours to complete.
