Changes for Fall 2025 SAT Weekend 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:

Student Experience

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

Time Paused on Exit

The test timer will pause for a limited time if students exit the Bluebook app, giving them a chance to recover from technical issues.

Changes to Accommodations

Reminder

Once standard time elapses, students with extended time accommodations now have the option to click Next and continue or end their test. They'll see a confirmation screen that warns them they won't be able to return to the previous section once they leave it.

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.


Testing Staff Experience

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.

Testing Staff Agreement

All testing staff must agree to the testing staff agreement in Test Day Toolkit in order to receive honoraria. For hall and room monitors who will not use Test Day Toolkit otherwise, please assign them the Monitor—No Access role so that they can view and sign this agreement.
