The online education company releases critical resources to help teachers prepare students for the new digital-only SAT exam.
(DALLAS) September 12, 2023 – UWorld, a worldwide leader in learning tools for teachers and students, today announced the launch of its online preparation for the Digital SAT exam designed to enhance educators’ resources to prepare their students for a new style of the exam. The resource aims to make SAT content understandable for students, manageable for teachers to incorporate into existing curriculum, and measurable for administrators to track their school’s and district’s progress.
“Amid rapid developments in the education landscape, UWorld continues to provide transformative teaching and learning tools to educators and students so they may easily navigate this new territory of digital SAT testing,” said Chandra S. Pemmasani, MD, founder and CEO of UWorld. “We are committed to delivering easy-to-use resources for teachers that can supplement classroom learning and give them necessary insight into their students’ performance in the process.”
As a digitally native learning platform, UWorld is among the first online study resources to offer content and a realistic practice interface designed to simulate the real digital SAT to best prepare students for the actual exam. The company’s team of experts developed more than 1,000 questions that replicate the content changes to ensure students are exposed to questions that are at or above exam level. The company’s high-quality explanations are provided for each question to give students immediate feedback and a clear understanding of why they got a question right or wrong.
The new product offers a host of features to streamline the assignment and evaluation process for teachers and administrators. Notably, educators can utilize UWorld’s pre-built assignments or create their own in the UWorld platform. They can also use the polling feature for a real-time analysis of their class’s knowledge on a given topic and leverage the reporting dashboard for an in-depth understanding of the progress and performance of their students. With a seamless onboarding process, educators receive in-person and on-demand training, webinars, and ongoing support.
Offered this year for international students and coming in 2024 for U.S. students, the Digital SAT requires new study strategies and question types. The exam uses dynamic questions that adapt to the student’s responses in real-time, which reduces the test duration by 45 minutes and allows for more efficient and precise measurement of individual abilities.
The new format has shorter reading passages, more direct questions, plus interactive features designed to make the math and reading sections more engaging and applicable to real-world scenarios. This new exam enhances accessibility by providing customizable accommodations and provides more flexibility for scheduling and test administration. It ensures that a wider range of students can participate in the exam, making the testing process more convenient.
