As you probably know, the SAT and ACT tests have recently been changed. Let’s take a look at these “new” exams:

SAT Reasoning Test (www.collegeboard.com)

 The exam has three sections—Critical Reading, Math and Writing— each scored between 200 and 800 points for a total possible score of 2400.

 The Critical Reading section is 70 minutes long with two 25-minute sections and one 20-minute section. It contains reading comprehension, sentence completion and paragraph-length critical reading sections. This section replaces the old verbal section.

 The Math section is 70 minutes long with two 25-minute sections and one 20-minute section. It contains multiple-choice questions and student-produced responses on numbers and operations, algebra, geometry and statistics, probability and data analysis.

 The Writing section contains a 25-minute essay that is first and a 35-minute multiple choice section that has questions on identifying sentence errors, improving sentences and improving paragraphs.
