How does the new SAT compare to the old SAT?

I’m in the class of 2018, and I’ll be taking the new SAT, but what was added and what was removed?
I heard that they won’t be having essays anymore, but I don’t know if that’s true.
I also heard they’re removing fill in the blank. It sounds like it’s going to be easier than the old one. Is it?

This website pretty clearly describes some of the big changes: http://magoosh.com/sat/2014/old-sat-vs-new-sat/

The rest of it can be found with a google search.
