What's Different About Digital

Students use Bluebook™, the College Board testing app, to take the test on a device they bring to your test center.

The digital SAT is more secure, with application lockdown functionality and unique content for each student.

Bluebook times students individually, so if their start times are slightly different, their break and end times will be too.

Test center staff use Test Day Toolkit, an intuitive web application, to administer the test. It walks proctors through test day and displays a short script they read aloud.

Instead of receiving paper forms and large manuals for use throughout the testing season, you’ll need to return to this website for each new administration to download the latest versions of the guides and other resources that supplement the toolkit.

Some test accommodations that were previously administered during a school-based SAT administration are now offered in a test center. For example, because the test is shorter, students approved for double-time will test in 1 day in the test center.
