The Industrial Revolution brought about significant advancements in education, including the development of standardized testing as we know it today. In the United States, the SAT (originally known as the Scholastic Aptitude Test) was first administered in 1926. The ACT (American College Testing) followed in 1959. These tests quickly became the standard for college admissions, and they have continued to evolve over the years to reflect changing educational trends and societal needs.

The advent of computers and the internet has revolutionized the way standardized tests are administered and scored. Computer-based testing (CBT) offers several advantages over traditional paper-and-pencil tests, including increased efficiency, flexibility, and security.
