I sympathize with those appalled by elimination of the SAT but I’m surprised by those whinging about the new digital format. Psychometrically speaking it should provide a more accurate measurement. I guess the opposition relates to those who simply dislike change, along with those who distrust authority.

Any computer program has the issue of garbage in, garbage out. AI has already made it plain that the ideology of the programmers has a huge effect on the end product.

I can't blame people for questioning what is being put INTO the programming of the digital SAT. Seems like there was a scandal few months back where POCs were given a code word to use in their applications/resumes to ensure that they wouldn't be screened out. Is there any way to guarantee that there are no "cheat codes" in the digital SAT?
