[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because Ap tests apparently couldn’t be multiple choice because of cheating, how could sats be multiple choice? [/quote]
The international SAT and ACT have been online for years. They use online proctors for exams now. Welcome to 2020. [/quote]

This is true. Now solve the access problem of students whose only device is a cell phone with spotty WiFi. [/quote]
If poor students in other nations can find a way, American students can as well. Personally I say online should be for students who don't have wifi issues and who don't need extra time. Those students can take it in person, there's so few of them that social distancing wouldn't be an issue. Online exams is good as the student gets their score back within a day as opposed to weeks.

Just to reiterate to the misguided PPs, no, the international SAT and ACT have not been online for years.  International students have taken online ACT at test centers with in-person proctoring.  [i]At-home[/i] ACT has never been given.  SAT has never been given online anywhere, [i]ever[/i], either at home or at test centers.

Connectivity issues likely disproportionately affect the poor, and can also be a matter of bad luck, rural locations, etc.  The testing companies would need to find a solution; I don't know what that might be other than retakes.  From what we saw with the AP exams, uploading was more challenging than downloading; sometimes the cable internet providers attach a filter that alters upload speed and can actually disrupt the upload.[/quote]
