Now that the SAT is fully digital, it’s natural to wonder how the change affects college admissions. In this blog, we’ll explore the relationship between the digital SAT and college admissions, offering insights into what students and educators can expect.

The role of the SAT in college admissions remains significant, and several highly selective colleges have recently reinstated testing requirements after going test-optional. Colleges and universities view SAT scores from the digital test as they do with the traditional paper and pencil format—as one component of a holistic admissions process. The digital format hasn’t changed the weight SAT scores carry in admissions decisions, so check each college’s current testing policy as you build your list.

The digital format also reflects how students already learn. As technology plays a pivotal role in education and the workplace, demonstrating digital literacy through a digital test like the Digital SAT can be seen as a valuable skill.

Furthermore, the digital SAT score reports offer more than just performance metrics. They connect students to information about local two-year colleges and workforce training programs that align with their achievements, interests, and financial goals. This empowers students to make informed decisions about their future based on their strengths and aspirations.
