💻 The SAT goes digital

SAT's digital makeover sparks debate: It's quicker and tech-savvy, but is it fair?

💻 Throw out those #2 pencils! The SAT is going digital. CNN says the digital SAT brings a streamlined, adaptive test experience.

💻 The author of a Radnorite.com opinion gave the digital SAT a try, and ultimately was a fan. It's a shorter, more streamlined experience.

💻 But NY Post says the new format has its critics: Some worry the digital SAT's “adaptive” feature oversimplifies the exam — and makes scores unfair.

💻 Curious about what the Digital SAT looks like? The NYT created some example questions in the same format for its readers to try.

🥊 Tyson vs. Paul

A YouTuber vs. a boxing legend: Some see it as a spectacle, while others call it disrespectful.

🥊 Jake Paul is fighting boxing legend Mike Tyson in a Netflix event. SI wonders if Paul's ambition can match the experience of a GOAT like Tyson.

🥊 Paul is facing major backlash because of the age mismatch, says The NY Post. Tyson is 30 years older than Paul!

🥊 But The NY Post also says the fight is being called a “power move”. The boxing world is hyped about all the attention it's getting.

🥊 Forbes thinks it's a win-win for both fighters, as long as they don't get hurt. They're gonna make big bucks and be part of a massive spectacle.
