Illinois students took the ISBE-sponsored SAT exam for the first time in spring 2017. This assessment serves as a valuable resource for students as it provides a free college entrance exam to every grade 11 student in the state. Providing this resource statewide increases equity of access for students. Illinois is also using this exam for state and federal accountability for both schools and districts between the spring of 2017 and the spring of 2024.

Beginning in the spring 2024, students used Bluebook™, the College Board testing app, to take the test on Mac and Windows devices, iPads, and school-managed Chromebooks.

Students can practice for the digital exam in the following ways:

• Khan Academy – Students may use Khan Academy to access thousands of digital SAT Suite practice questions, videos, lessons, and hints plus test-taking tips and strategies. High quality content is available for every section of the test, including the essay, free of charge. A College Board account is not required to access Khan Academy digital SAT Suite practice content.

  
  

• Bluebook™ App – Students can take full length practice tests on the Bluebook app. Students can enter the Bluebook App by using their College Board account login. After students are registered in College Board's system by ISBE, they will

  also be able to use a sign-in ticket from their school. As of the most recent update of this document, essay practice is not yet available in the Bluebook app, but there are plans for its inclusion by this December.
