The Digital SAT can be taken on a laptop or tablet that meets the College Board’s technical requirements. The device should be fully charged and capable of running the test’s secure application.
The College Board provides loaner devices for students who do not have access to a suitable device. It’s essential to request this in advance to ensure availability on test day.
The secure testing application prevents cheating and ensures that students cannot access unauthorized materials or programs during the test, maintaining the integrity of the exam.
Students must download the secure testing application in advance and perform a system check to ensure the software runs properly on their device. This avoids technical disruptions on test day.
The Digital SAT is designed to work offline once started. If the internet connection drops during the test, it will not affect the student’s ability to continue, as the test data is saved locally and securely.
