DETAILS OF THE SAT TEST STRUCTURE 

The current Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) Reasoning Test, introduced in 2005, will finally become a thing of the past. From March 2016, the NEW SAT will step in and with it will come major changes in the training styles and philosophies of trainers and training institutes.

 

The test covers all mathematical practices, with an accentuation on critical thinking, using appropriate tools strategically, and searching for and making utilization of structure to do algebra. The practices stressed in the redesigned SAT are integral to the requests of postsecondary work. Critical thinking requires students to make sense of problems, to understand issues and continue to tackle them, an aptitude exceptionally evaluated by postsecondary teachers. Modeling stresses applications characteristic of the entire postsecondary curriculum. Students will be asked throughout high school, college, and careers to make choices about which tools to use in solving problems. Finally, structure is primary to algebra and to other more advanced mathematics.

Composition of each section: 

Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 

The Reading section has 52 Questions tested in 65 minutes and the Writing section has 44 Questions tested in 35 minutes. Both the reading and the writing are scored together on a scale ranging from 200 -800.The reading and writing will emphasis on words in context, emphasis on command of evidence, inclusion of informational graphics, and specified range of text complexity. 

Math: 

20 Questions tested in 25 minutes without the use of a calculator and 38 questions tested in 55 minutes in which a calculator can be used. The Math sections are tested in 80 minutes and focus on basic arithmetic, algebra1 and 11 and geometry. The two sections are scored on a scale ranging from 200-800.

The total score for the new SAT is between 400-1600 with a 50 minute optional essay. The redesigned SAT will report multiple sub scores for Reading, Writing and Language, and Math. The Reading and Writing and Language Tests will contribute questions to two sub scores: (1) Command of Evidence and (2) Words in Context. The Writing and Language Test will also report two additional sub scores: (1)Expression of Ideas and (2) Standard English Conventions. The Math Test will report three sub scores: (1) Heart of Algebra, (2) Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and (3) Passport to Advanced Math.

The big takeaways in the new SAT are that you have fewer sections, more time on average per question and the essay is optional. Moreover, there is no penalty in the new SAT, so this relieves the students from the fear of making guesses.
