MAJOR CHANGES FOR SAT TEST

The SAT test will be getting an overhaul.  The redesign is scheduled to debut in Spring 2016 and among the changes are the following:

- more relevant vocabulary
- increased concentration on evidence-based questions/answers
- in-depth focus on problem solving, analysis, algebra, and advanced math
- more real-world contexts
- keys on founding documents, such as the Constitution and Declaration of Independence
- no penalty for wrong answers

In addition, the essay will now be optional, and the scoring will return to a scale of 200-800 for the two primary sections - Math and Reading/Writing - making the top combined score 1600, as opposed to the current 2400.
