As a current high school student who will be taking the digital SAT this March, I can assure you that paper is alive and well both in the classroom and in testing. I don’t love the new digital testing system, and I see it as a failure of their system that students can no longer self pace through the test.

I think that to the Collegeboard, the change to digital was to make it easier to distribute and easier to take (digital, shorter time). However, I think that this has some unintended consequences in how it will limit student freedom to self-pace, and the possibility of unjust scores if the student does not make the qualifying 'second stage' difficulty on the adaptive part. >Good luck with your upcoming test! Thanks for the kind words! When I heard that the test would be digital, I rushed to sign up for a paper section, and was lucky enough to get a slot (and a good score). I'm only now taking the digital because my school is offering it on campus, and that's just too convenient to pass up.
- gnicholas 3y agoIt makes sense to have tried to get in for a paper test in case the digital rollout is a mess. It will be interesting to learn how the two tests differ — I hope students like you write blog posts or articles in school newspapers about the experience.
