Digital PSAT and SAT Update
The Testing Coordinator and College Counseling look forward to guiding you through the transition to a digital testing experience. The benefits of digital testing include a more secure testing environment, shorter testing times, flagging questions in order to return to them later, a countdown clock, a built-in graphing calculator, and a reference sheet for each math question consisting of common formulas. Results of the exams will be returned in days, not weeks, after the exam(s).
Tests and Testing Dates
SAT - Fall 2023, traditional paper/pencil
SAT - Spring 2024, digital version
PSAT 10/11 and PSAT 8/9 - Fall/Spring, digital versions only
AP - Spring 2024, digital version only
Device Requirements
Before taking the digital exam(s), you’ll need to know what device you’ll be using for testing and ensure this device meets the technical specifications before downloading the Bluebook testing application.
The Bluebook app can run on a Windows laptop or tablet, a Mac laptop, an iPad, or a school-managed Chromebook. You’ll download the Bluebook app before the test, then you’ll complete a quick exam set-up the week before the exam. This setup will ensure your device meets requirements, and the application will generate your admission ticket and test. Things to consider:
- Must be able to connect to Wi-Fi
- Will need to be fully charged, and we suggest bringing your power cords
- For AP exams from an iPad, you will need an external keyboard
- See detailed device requirements here
