This March, the College Board implemented the largest redesign of the SAT in its history, transitioning the standardized college admissions test to a fully digital format. This change has made the SAT more than 40 minutes shorter than its previous version. The shift to digital has raised questions regarding the test's difficulty level, though no specific details on changes to the content or scoring have been provided. Concurrently, the return of the SAT at some colleges has sparked a significant increase in demand for SAT tutors and prep centers, contributing to a booming $3 billion industry. This resurgence in SAT relevance comes as many students are receiving their college acceptance or rejection letters, a period known for its high stress among families.
