The New Digital SAT
By Adam Ingersoll January 25, 2022 College Admission Requirements, PSAT, SAT
2 Comments

The days of the #2 pencil may be numbered, as College Board is on its way to a fully-digital replacement of the SAT. This post shares what is currently known about the new exam and also offers discussion of the unknowns that will become clear over the next 18 months. Expect updates here regularly as new information becomes available.

Known
The College Board is revealing the most important facts about the digital SAT while still leaving room for necessary follow-up on the details.

Intended Timeline
The new digital SAT will debut outside of the U.S. in 2023, while U.S. test-takers first crack at the new test will be in the form of the PSAT in October 2023. The digital SAT debuts in the U.S. in 2024. Current 9th graders – the class of 2025 – will be the first students in the U.S. for whom the new test will be a concern. Nearly all students in the class of 2024 will be done with college admission testing by the time the new SAT is offered.

Format
The test is section-adaptive. Each subject will be divided into two sections. Based on a student’s performance in the first section, an algorithm chooses the appropriate difficulty for the second section. This allows the test-taker’s score on the 1600 scale to be pegged more efficiently, and College Board is highlighting that the new test will be shortened from three hours to two hours. In theory, adaptive digital tests are more secure than static paper tests, since students are presented with different sections. The integrity of the item bank and section bank must still be maintained, however, and this adds its own set of security concerns.

By Christian Heath SAT VS ACT

Many families I consult want advice on the differences between the SAT and the ACT tests. Again, I’ve been teaching both tests for over a decade, and I also have a perfect score on both tests, so I think that I can provide you with some useful insights.

Without going overly in-depth, I’m going to give some key points that compare and contrast the SAT and the ACT tests, leading up to a particular focus on the differences between their Math sections.

You may already know that the ACT is an alternative test to the SAT. It fills the same role as a comprehensive college admissions test.

First off, I think the tests are more similar than different. They are both long, timed tests on Reading, Grammar, and Math, with an optional Essay section. The ACT does also include a Science section that’s not on the SAT test, but this section is more about reading charts and graphs than actual “science knowledge.”

Therefore, I usually ballpark the two tests at about “80% similarity.” This is a natural consequence of them both being used for the same purpose: broadly evaluating the academic skills of high school students as part of the college admissions process.

Still, there are some key differences between the SAT and ACT tests.

One of the most noticeable differences is the timing. The ACT test is notorious for being very fast-paced and having a brutally short time limit. In contrast, the SAT is a bit more generous with the time you get for each section. Of course, most students would prefer to have more time to work on the SAT, but it’s the ACT that really puts your high-speed work to the test.

Another noticeable difference is difficulty. If I had to sum things up in one sentence, I’d say that the individual questions throughout the ACT tend to be slightly easier than the equivalent questions on the SAT. The SAT Reading test, in particular, features harder reading passages, more advanced vocabulary, and more challenging questions than the ACT Reading.

The Grammar sections of the two tests are nearly identical - so similar that I was able to write a single textbook, SAT & ACT Grammar Mastery, that covers all the Grammar topics for both tests. It’s available on Amazon, and I’d highly recommend getting it if you want to improve your verbal scores on either the SAT or ACT.

So overall - speaking in a very broad generalization - I think the ACT is slightly easier on a question-to-question basis, but you have to work much faster. The SAT is perhaps slightly harder on a question-to-question basis, especially in the Reading section, but you have noticeably more time to work on each question.

Focusing more specifically on the Math sections, the ACT test gives 60 questions in 60 minutes, compared to the two SAT Math sections that total a combined 58 questions in 80 minutes. You can immediately see that the pace of the ACT is faster - it has more questions to answer in less time.

The ACT Math also tends to involve more variety of questions. It tests a wider variety of math topics and the mix is more randomized. In contrast, the SAT places a huge emphasis on Algebra - especially Algebra 1 - so I feel that the SAT Math test actually requires mastery of fewer math topics than the ACT Math does. If you’re preparing for the SAT test, this is good news.

steps in the solution process and a bit more complexity than an equivalent ACT Math question.

For example, it’s more common for an SAT Math question to mix several unrelated math topics into a single question. On the ACT Math, it’s more common for each question to focus more narrowly on a single math concept per question.

The most common student complaint I get about SAT Math questions is “I don’t know how to start this.” The most common complaint I get about ACT Math questions is “I don’t remember how to do this.”

I think these two complaints sum up the essential difference between the two math tests: the SAT Math questions are more complex (so students feel like they don’t know where to begin), but the ACT Math covers a broader variety of topics (so students feel like they’ve seen this kind of question before, but can’t remember what they’ve learned about it).

Let’s also consider the “difficulty curves” of the two tests. The difficulty scaling for the SAT Math test is a gradual but constant increase from easier to harder questions throughout the section. Most students tell me they can feel the SAT Math questions gradually getting more difficult throughout the section. On the other hand, many ACT Math students report feeling “like it was really easy until it suddenly got really hard.” In other words, the jump from “easy” to “difficult” seems more abrupt on the ACT Math test.

Personally, I feel that the ACT Math is actually a more challenging experience than the SAT Math. For a long time I believed the opposite. But for several years now, I’ve felt that the SAT’s predictable focus on Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, plus the slower pace and extra time, makes it easier to prepare for. I would rather prepare for slightly more challenging questions in a narrower range of math topics than slightly easier questions with a wider range of topics. There’s just less “stuff” to review and remember. But that might just be me.

It is also worthwhile to point out that the ACT Math is only one of four test sections, while the SAT Math counts for two of four sections. This makes an argument for math skills being more significant to your overall SAT score, since your SAT Math score is 50% of your total test score, instead of just 25% of your total score on the ACT.

At the end of the day, I feel like these comparisons between the SAT and ACT Math tests are somewhat “splitting hairs.” Both are demanding and comprehensive challenges for high school students. There is no “free ride” to be had by choosing one test or the other. Overall, the tests are more similar than different - both are comprehensive tests of high school math from arithmetic all the way through Algebra 2 and basic trigonometry. In my experience, it’s best to pick a single test and focus on it until you’ve mastered it.

College Board Ends SAT Subject Tests Program
By Adam Ingersoll January 18, 2021 Advanced Placement, SAT, SAT Essay, SAT Subject Tests
**Breaking news. This post will be updated as more details become available.**

A number of our contacts in admissions offices confirmed this past weekend what we’ve surmised for the past four years was inevitable: College Board is eliminating the SAT Subject Tests program. CEO David Coleman is leading a closed webinar for admissions executives on 1/19 at 2pm Eastern titled “An Update on Simplifying Our Work,” announced as providing “information on the delivery of the SAT Suite of Assessments, with a focus on changes and what to expect as we begin a new admissions cycle in 2021.” College Board is a member organization and cannot adopt major changes without consulting its members in advance, and as usual this news leaked out before an official announcement. [UPDATE: College Board posted an update at 9:30am Eastern on Jan 19 confirming the information below, and WaPo has picked up coverage.]

The Subject Tests’ demise is the news most immediately relevant to those who advise students, but other announcements are expected as well. The SAT Essay will be eliminated too, which will shorten and simplify test administration. The Subject Tests and Essay have been on a steady decline and became even less supportable during the pandemic. College Board is focusing resources on their popular AP program and on the race against ACT to move testing online in ways that are secure, equitable, and more efficient.

Further confirmation of the Subject Test rumors came inadvertently from College Board’s own customer service department. An independent counselor, calling on behalf of a student, was told in no uncertain terms that the reason the student was unable to register for the Subject Tests was because the tests are no longer being administered and that the College Board is promoting AP exams instead. We can only assume that the customer service rep confused the timing on when the script was to be flipped. The counselor then posted on a listserv for counselors seeking corroboration from colleagues.

A second College Board webinar for college counselors is scheduled to follow on 1/21 at 1pm Eastern. However, many counselors will need to be prepared to answer questions well before then.

We will update this post regularly with further details and an analysis of the implications. Below is an evolving set of Frequently Asked Questions:

Does this mean that my Subject Test registration is canceled?
There will not be any future U.S. administrations of the Subject Tests. International students will have the opportunity to take Subject Tests in May and June 2021 before the program is sunset altogether. Students can work with College Board to change a Subject Test registration to an SAT registration or receive a refund.

When will colleges update their policies to reflect the cancelation of the Subject Tests and Essay?
It may take time for colleges to react to January 19th’s news. Many colleges do not reevaluate testing requirements until after they complete the admission cycle in the spring. Students in the class of 2022 or later should be aware that language about Subject Tests and the Essay on college websites may be outdated for some time. Colleges that currently utilize the Subject Tests and/or the Essay will need to articulate whether those students who have already taken them are encouraged to submit them.

Where does this leave homeschoolers?
Many admission offices have, in the past, recommended that homeschooled students submit supplementary test scores such as APs or Subject Tests. The cancelation of Subject Tests leaves a void for these students, who cannot as easily point to grading standards or course rigor.

Why will there be a few more international administrations of Subject Tests?
College Board’s member institutions likely lobbied to preserve — even temporarily — Subject Tests for international students. Colleges are more dependent on standardized test scores for students applying abroad.

What about U.S. students applying abroad?
U.S. students applying to schools in the U.K. have often used Subject Tests to meet application requirements. Oxford and the University of Edinburgh, for example, each require students to submit APs, Subject Tests, or a combination of APs and Subject Tests. Cambridge notes that “strong performances in SAT Subject Tests will strengthen an application.” In Canada, McGill requires Subject Tests from U.S. students. It’s unclear what adjustments international colleges will make. Students may have few options beyond taking APs.

Why is College Board making this decision now?
The Subject Test and Essay eliminations are sure to be roundly celebrated by students and counselors who see the move for what it is on its face: a few less items to worry about. And those supportive cheers will play conveniently well into the College Board’s couching of this decision as a purely selfless, student-friendly act.

But it’s not that simple. While the end of Subject Tests removes one discretionary concern from the minds of a narrow band of college applicants (about 10% of college-bound students took Subject Tests each year), it also frees up resources for the College Board to allocate elsewhere. After celebrating the public relations win of today’s news, College Board will continue doubling down on its efforts and investments to push AP further into the center of the industrial enterprise it so heavily influences: create more AP programs, sell more AP exams, and perhaps even encourage colleges to think of AP scores as de facto college admissions measurements.

So was this a compassionate act aimed at simplifying the lives of students? Or was this a pragmatic decision to cut one’s worst losses? It was both. Today’s news represents at once a move away from an unpopular underperformer and a step toward better nourishing a more tolerated product line with greater potential to thrive. Everybody wins, perhaps? It just feels like the College Board wins a little more.

Will the elimination of Subject Tests mean more interest in AP exams?
Yes, likely so, especially within certain niches. Even with zero U.S. colleges requiring Subject Tests, more than 400,000 were still taken by the class of 2020. This energy has to go somewhere. Some of it will flow to heightened interest in APs and more pressure on schools to make AP testing opportunities available to students. While more than 80% of US high schools offer AP classes, there are thousands of high schools that do not. Some of these schools lack the resources to do so, while others have such an abundance of resources that they do not feel the need to bother. The latter group — predominantly highly competitive independent schools — finds the AP framework constricting. Subject Tests served as an option for non-AP students to demonstrate knowledge to colleges. Without that outlet, schools may face renewed questions from parents about APs.

Can I take an AP instead of a Subject Test?
Some colleges recommend that students provide standardized test scores such as Subject Tests or APs. However, the content and expectations on the AP test are different. Students should consider whether an AP test — especially when unconnected from an AP course — makes sense.

Currently, students can search the AP ledger at https://apcourseaudit.inflexion.org/ledger/ to find local schools offering the exams that might be able to accommodate test-takers from other schools. The deadline to register for a May exam was pushed back to March 12th this year due to the pandemic.

Is the SAT Essay eliminated entirely?
The SAT Essay will still be available for students to add on to their SAT through the June 2021 administration. The Essay may survive beyond June for state-funded School Day testing. College Board is contracted to deliver the Essay as part of its SAT program in some states. As an admission tool, students should consider the Essay as canceled.

Will my March SAT w/ Essay registration be canceled?
No, the Essay is still alive through the June 2021 test date. Students should contact College Board if they wish to have their reservations switched to the SAT w/o Essay and the difference in fees refunded.

Will colleges look at SAT Essay and ACT Writing scores that students have already taken?
Admission offices have not yet said if they will ignore prior essay scores or scores that are part of state-mandated testing. Compass does not expect that essay scores will have a role to play for the class of 2022 and beyond.

Will ACT eliminate the Writing test?
ACT may not want to be seen as immediately following College Board’s lead, but it faces the same reality — an essay test that was already struggling prior to the pandemic. ACT’s business is even more dependent on state-funded testing, so we expect that it will need time to consult with its partners before announcing a decision. Compass’s recommendation is for U.S. students to skip any optional Writing test.
