'Ready to innovate:' Students could take SAT at home if schools remain closed
NEW YORK -- A home version of the SAT college entrance exam is being prepared in case schools remain closed into the fall, College Board officials said Wednesday as they announced the cancellation of June testing.Instead of a paper-and-pencil test given under proctors' supervision, the home version would be digital and rely on “remote proctoring.” That could include using the computer’s camera and microphone to monitor movement or talking, College Board President Jeremy Singer said on a conference call with reporters."We would much prefer that schools reopen but we are ready to innovate and deliver in the unlikely case we need to," Chief Executive David Coleman said.Coronavirus-related school closures forced the cancellation of spring testing for about 1 million first-time test-takers, the majority of them high school juniors planning to enter college in 2021, College Board officials said.
