The SAT is changing in some ways, but these things are staying the same:

*It’s accepted by almost all U.S. colleges.
*It’s typically taken by juniors in the spring and seniors in the fall.
*SAT scores and high school GPA are a powerful combination. Used together, there’s nothing better at predicting potential college success.

The New SAT since March 2016!
The first opportunity to take the new SAT was March 5, 2016! You might be surprised by everything that’s new about the new SAT:
*There's an all-new essay — and it’s optional,
*No penalty for guessing, and
*No vocab that you’ll never use again.
