  • Why the New SAT Shouldn’t Scare You

    By Chyten Educational Services

    So far, all you have heard about the new, redesigned SAT is in regard to its structure:

    • The 2400 scale goes back to a 1600 scale.
    • No more penalties for wrong answers.
    • Partial calculator use on the math section.
    • An optional essay section.

    While this is useful and interesting, what is far more important for student test-takers in the class of 2017 and later is information about the actual content of the test and how one can best learn to master it.
