The amount of surveillance/security needed when students take tests at home (like your friend, and many others during COVID) is awful. But it sounds like the SAT won't be administered at home, only in high schools and test centers.

Students will use either school-owned or student-owned devices, which is not great. I would certainly opt for the former, since I wouldn't want to install this crap on my own computer. We'll find out in the next couple years how smoothly this goes. They've been doing the SAT online for a while outside the US, so hopefully the ironed out some of the bugs already.

But they won't have to worry about someone entering the frame, since testing will happen exclusively at proctored centers.
