The SAT is undergoing its biggest change in 30 years & Princeton Review is ON IT!

The New SAT. We're ON IT.

The SAT is undergoing its biggest change in 30 years. The New SAT will make its debut in March 2016 and impact students in the class of 2017 or younger.  The world-class research team at Princeton Review has been closely monitoring the changes to make sure counselors, parents, and students get the inside scoop. 

Changes You'll Love	Changes You Won't Love
No penalty for wrong answers, so students won’t have to worry about losing points for guessing incorrectly. (Just like on the ACT.) There will be only 4 answer choices instead of 5. (Just like on the ACT.) Students may be more familiar with some of the vocabulary tested, but they will need to know multiple definitions of those words. Sayonara sentence completions.	Questions will require multiple steps to get an answer. The reading passages will include complex structure and vocabulary. Foundational math skills will be more important. Reasoning and critical thinking skills will be paramount. There will be fewer sections on the new test, but they will be longer in time than the current test.

Are My Scores Here Yet? 

If you take the New SAT in March 2016, The College Board will hold scores from the test until after the May 2016 administration. That's a long and likely stressful waiting period for students to learn their scores.

How Should I Prep?

The SAT is still a timed pencil and paper test. Speed and accuracy count. Our Research and Development team are New SAT experts. They have created world class content for our new courses and online resources to help students navigate these changes and be prepared on test day.
