The Verdict on the New SAT is in: It’s reading heavy!
On Jan 23rd, juniors took the new SAT and here’s what they’re saying about it. The test is reading heavy – the reading sections are longer and the comprehension questions are more difficult than their predecessor. There’s even more reading in the math and science sections, too.
While this test will probably be the best test to determine high school students’ reading comprehension and critical reading and thinking skills, some educators fear that this revised test will penalize certain students like immigrants, the poor, and students with learning differences.
