Can I take the SAT on paper?
It's one of the most common questions Denver students ask when starting their college test prep journey: can I still take the SAT on paper? The short answer is no — for nearly all students, a paper SAT is no longer an option. The College Board completed its transition to a fully digital SAT in 2024, and that shift is permanent. If you're planning to take the SAT in the 2025–2026 school year or beyond, you will be taking it on a computer. This guide explains what that means, how the digital SAT works, and what your options are if [...]
Where can I take the digital ACT in Denver?
If you've decided that the digital ACT is the right format for you, the next practical question is where — and whether a digital test center is actually available near you. This is a more nuanced question than it might seem. Unlike paper testing, which is offered at hundreds of high schools and community centers across the Denver metro area, digital ACT testing is available at a more limited number of authorized sites. This guide explains how digital testing locations work, how to find one near you in Denver, what to expect when you get there, and what to do [...]
Should I take the ACT on paper or computer?
One of the first questions students and families now face when planning for the ACT isn't what to study — it's how to take the test. As of fall 2025, the ACT offers two formats: a traditional paper-and-pencil version and a digital version taken on a computer. Both versions cover the same content and are scored on the same 1–36 scale, but the experience of sitting for each is meaningfully different. For Denver students preparing for the ACT, understanding those differences — and honestly assessing your own strengths and preferences — is the first step toward choosing the format that [...]

Understanding which schools require standardized tests, which remain test-optional, and which have gone fully test-free is essential for building a smart college list and planning your prep timeline. This guide breaks down the current landscape so you can approach applications with [...]
