N an evolving educational landscape where many universities are increasingly adopting policies that make tests optional, the SAT continues to hold its ground as a critical tool for students aiming to stand out in competitive admissions.
But with the transition to a new format, the SAT has entered a new era, redefining not just how students prepare but also how they perform.
However, questions remain: What fresh strategies can one employ to excel in a test transforming with time, and what future developments can students expect? In this third and final installment of the SAT series, EdexLive spoke to Rushi Sheth, the Vice-President of the College Board's International division, to explore and understand the future of the SAT's shifting terrain.
With thousands of universities going test-optional, has the SAT become less relevant or more strategic?
For students aiming for competitive programmes or scholarship opportunities, it provides a standardized benchmark that enhances the holistic review process.
Submitting SAT scores can help students stand out by showcasing their academic readiness and reinforcing other elements of their application, such as their Grade Point Average (GPA) and extracurricular achievements.
In an increasingly competitive admissions environment, the SAT remains an asset for students to differentiate themselves and highlight their potential in a way that transcends grading systems or school curricula.
From Artificial Intelligence (AI) tutoring to adaptive practice - how is technology changing the SAT preparation game?

The digital SAT, launched via the Bluebook app, has introduced several innovations aimed at making test-taking more streamlined and efficient.
