Abstract

The article focuses on the College Board's transition of Advanced Placement (AP) exams to digital or hybrid formats in 2025, using its Bluebook app, which was also employed for the SAT's online move in 2024. This shift affected 28 of 36 AP subjects and was partly driven by concerns over leaked paper exams. While supporters argue the digital format better assesses student ability, critics highlight potential disadvantages for students lacking reliable internet or devices, though the College Board provided loaner technology and Wi-Fi support. The article also notes a resurgence in the SAT's role in college admissions, with some selective colleges reinstating standardized test requirements. [Extracted from the article]
