Join the College Board for updates on the SAT and AP Programs! First, the SAT Suite of Assessments is going digital, starting this fall with the PSAT/NMSQT!

The digital SAT Suite will continue to measure the knowledge and skills that students are learning in high school and that matter most for college and career readiness. In this session, we will explore key changes to test content, administration, and educator support. Attendees will come away with more insights about what to expect from the digital transition as we prepare for launch as well as leave with resources to help their schools prepare for the launch. Second, the College Board is actively working to put relevance at the center of education - rethinking our Advanced Placement (AP) offerings to ensure that our coursework appeals to today's students and that every student feels recognized and invited to the table. During this workshop, we'll share what that vision looks like for the AP program. We'll talk about how lessons from the successful launch of AP Computer Science Principles, a project-based class that has diversified the pipeline of students going into computer science, are being used in the development of new AP courses and revision of others.
