What does the new SAT look like???

What Changed?
Facts about the new SAT.

New scoring:
There are 3 sections on the New SAT. Each section is scored 200-800. The new "perfect" score is 2400 instead of 1600, making it that much easier to beat your parents' SAT scores!

Longer test:

The new test is 45 minutes longer than the old test (3 hours and 45 minutes instead of 3 hours).

Verbal Section:

• The "Verbal" section has been renamed "Critical Reading" because of the increased focus on reading comprehension.
• There is now more variety in the way they ask questions, including paragraph-length critical reading passages.
• There are 48 reading comprehension questions.
• There are 19 sentence completion questions.
• The analogies section has been eliminated....(Confusion is to analogies as… Who cares, they're gone!)
  

Writing Section:

• This section is new to the SAT, but it is not new to The Princeton Review.
• The writing section is virtually identical to the SAT Subject Test: Writing.
• You are required to write an essay and answer 49 multiple-choice questions on grammar, word choice, and usage.
