SAT test changes

This primarily effects students who are going into their junior year this fall, but it's good info to know for younger students as well.  The College Board has made MAJOR changes to the SAT.  These changes go into effect with the March 2016 test.  If you have a student who will be taking the test this year, I recommend taking a look at both formats and seeing which will work best for him or her.   In general, students who have a very high vocabulary level will shine on the old test.   The old test is also better for students who do well with timed writing prompts.  If you want a good idea of what the new test will look like, you can check out the redesigned PSAT - the formats will be similar.

Happy testing!!
