So you heard the press . . . MAJOR changes coming to the SAT. As the headline says, “Not to worry”! Please remember, that most of the ‘fears’ around the SAT, stem from rumors and myths about the exam. When parents and students get the facts about the test – what it’s TRULY testing, the mandatory skills, mindset and strategies, how the test is used, etc. – their fears are quickly dissipated.

That said, read on where I briefly review what the changes are about, a chronology of the various changes through the years, why they came about and what credible test preparation should always focus on to be successful - change or no change.
