Only thing I could think of is computer access since they are always taken in school. But I took the GRE this past summer which is basically the same thing. Everything was done on the computer, but you had the option to take the paper version if you wanted to.

Shit, TOEFL (the English test for going to US colleges and universities for us int'l students) has been computer based since at least 10 years ago; I'm surprised SAT is still paper based.

How did that go? I'm considering taking it, and I'm curious. Never had a really important computer test before.

Computer based standardized tests suuuuuck. I would not want to take the SAT on a computer, but that’s the direction they’re heading.

College Board did that at least for AP exams during covid. If it's the same level of quality, it'll flop. They're an absolute garbage monopoly of a company that if had more competition would go out of business
