Changes for Fall 2025 Testing

Based on feedback from educators and students during the spring 2025 testing window, we're making some adjustments for fall. Here's what's changing:

Everyone Has A BigFuture^®

The BigFuture School app will now be available to all in-school testers, including students taking the PSAT 8/9.

Changes to the Bluebook™ Experience

New calculator policies

In addition to the Desmos graphing calculator embedded in Bluebook, students will also have the option to bring their own handheld calculator. Most personal calculators will now be approved for use during testing unless they are on the prohibited list at sat.org/calculator.

Changes to Accommodations

Screen Reader Update

Students approved to use a screen reader will no longer be automatically approved for extended time. They will need a separate approval for this accommodation.

Nutrition Break Policy

Students approved for extended breaks or breaks as needed will no longer receive a nutrition break.

Text To Speech Functionality

Students will have the option to click Pause to resume the voiceover from where they left off. They may also click Stop to start the voiceover again from the beginning.

Accommodations and Supports Dashboard

Students are now able to track their requests for accommodations, download decision letters, and view their accommodations history online.

New Customer Service Hours

You can now reach College Board at 866-630-9305 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET.

Test Security Update for Coordinators

If a student is caught taking a picture of test content, the test coordinator will be responsible for taking a picture of the content on that student's phone and storing it safely for test security.
