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:
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.
Test Day Toolkit Proctor Preview
We heard from staff the desire to be able to see things and walk through Test Day Toolkit before test day, so we are excited to announce our new Proctor Preview! After receiving access to Test Day Toolkit, staff will be able to walk through all the proctoring screens like they would on test day.
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.
Modifications to Staff Training Experience
We've refreshed the look of the training system with simplified navigation and a cleaner layout to help you quickly find and complete your training. Our training modules now have more options to customize your training by role, including allowing users to select multiple roles if necessary. Test coordinators will also be able to see which of their staff members have completed training and note whether any staff members have been trained on site.
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.
