Irvington High School Adopts New Digital and Grade-Specific College Board Testing Policies for Fall 2024

As for the changes that have affected College Board tests, Irvington High School has recently made big changes in the administration of tests which can be viewed as changes made nationally at large. The PSAT used to be given to 10th and 11th graders, but is only given to juniors now and will be given on October 2nd and 3rd. This change is similar to decision-making throughout the district and accentuates 11th-grade students’ involvement, to some extent, due to organizational factors and the distribution of resources.

A significant change in recent years also includes the ability to take the SAT in the junior as well as the senior year, known as the SAT School Day. This makes it possible for students to write the test while in school, something that was earlier only possible by writing the test on Saturday. The fees charged to sit the SAT are still $100 although there are scholarships available for those that qualify.

Probably the most effective revolution is the shift to online testing. Since March 2024 the Sat has been fully delivered digitally All the features that were once paper-based are now available in an online capacity. Irvington is getting ready for this change by modernizing its IT so that the digital SAT and the further digital AP tests in 2025 can happen with no IT issues. These changes to computerization as the College Board says are aimed at minimizing cheating so as to ensure a better testing environment across the country.

Additionally, self-AP courses for high school students like those offered in Irvington today have been regulated in the number of tests that 9th and 10th graders can self-study for restricted to only AP Macroeconomics and AP Microeconomics exams. On the other hand, upperclassmen will still be afforded more opportunities to sit for self-study examinations.

More generally, these modifications at Irvington reflect the broader shifts in teaching and testing as district schools work toward achieving greater uniformity in a bid to achieve more consistent presentation to the learners.
