>Is this change motivated by issues regarding self pacing?
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.
