 About The SAT
The SAT was changed in 2005. Several major changes had many
calling it the NEW SAT. Albeit, an institutional fixture after 76 years up
until that point,, the one thing that was not characteristic of the SAT was/is
change. Previously only a couple of changes were made to the SAT over its76
year history. The SAT is comprised of a Critical Reading, Math and a
Writing section. In the previous tests there was no Writing section; I lieu of
that amongst other changes they have eliminated the analogy section where
things like car is to boat as fan is to _____.
The reading passages are still there and there is now a critical reading
section which includes multiple choice questions where you identify errors in
sentences and you have to write an essay. Although, we hesitate to tell you
there is an experimental section on the test. So, forget we told you this so
you wont try to guess which section it is. It does not count as a scored
section and believe us when we tell you – do not try to figure it out because
you will not be able to. By the way every other test is different is some way
so that anyone near you will not have a similar test The test is 3 hours and 45 minutes long and you can plan on
being in the testing center for at least 4 hours and 15 minutes. Take a picture ID Snack for your break A Wrist Watch A copy of your registration acknowledgment/ receipt  About The ACT
