SAT Changes

  1. Vocabulary: All vocabulary questions will be in context. The words will come from high school Tier Two lists in line with the Common Core standards.
  1. Reading: Each test will feature passages from primary sources like political speeches and other historical texts.
  1. Math Calculations: The new test will feature a section with no calculator. Students must master equation solving and arithmetic skills for this section.
  1. Data Analysis: The new test will have a strong emphasis on data analysis, both in the SAT Reading Test and the SAT Math Test. Data analysis will include charts and graphs, covering topics from the social sciences and natural sciences.
  1. SAT Writing and Language Test: The SAT Writing and Language Test will include 44 questions on grammar and expression. Students must rewrite certain sentences, correct errors in context, and understand how word choice affects tone.
  1. Essay: The SAT essay will require scholarly analysis of a document. Students will have 50 min to complete the essay instead of the current 25 min allotment.
  1. Applied Math: Students will be required to analyze data and relate linear equations with graphs with applications to the natural and social sciences.
  1. Algebra and Geometry: The “Heart of Algebra” section will continue the SAT’s legacy of a strong emphasis on functions, graphing, and applied equation solving. There will be additional trigonometry content on the new test.
  1. Scoring: The new score will be out of 1600 with a separate score for the essay. There will also be several subscores.
  1. Superscoring: We believe that most schools will continue to superscore, taking the highest Reading and Math scores from each test a student takes.
