<p>Hi CCers! :)
So I just read online that the SAT is going to go through changes. I was just wondering, when do you guys think this will happen? Because I just got an SAT book and if this NEW SAT is going to affect me, I may have to prep in a different way(maybe?..if it's very different).
Thanks guys!! I'm a bit anxious about this... So ANY comments appreciated :D</p>
<p>please post link.</p>
<p>Relax, it might be implemented around 2015-2017. If your in the class of 2014, 2015, or even 2016, I doubt you would have anything to worry about.</p>
<p>I think we have at least good 3-4 years until we could actually see new SATs.</p>
<p>@darkaeroga, really? the SAT changes every 10 years. last time it changed was 2005. so 2015 SAT will be different. i’m class of 2016, i’m pretty sure its somthing to worry about</p>
<p>College Board hopes to introduce a new SAT in 2015 which would thus first apply to entry class of 2016. See recent report on it at <a href=“What the New SAT and Digital ACT Might Look Like - The New York Times”>What the New SAT and Digital ACT Might Look Like - The New York Times;
<p>that is definitely somthing to worry about. i am in class of 2016, and i am thinink of taking the SAT next year, so it will be the same old SAT (and I would have practice test and great prep material) and then maybe taking it again in 2015, with what it could be the “new” version. Aren’t the SAT valid for 5 year? Could this be helpful?</p>
<p>From what I have read, sounds like the new SAT honcho wants to make the SAT (2015) more like the ACT. So, I have a question: Is the best way to prep for the 2015 SAT to practice the ACT?</p>
<p>How long before someone comes out with a Common Core based SAT prep product?</p>
<p>Class of 2016 helicopter parents want to know?</p>
<p>im scared…</p>
<p>I really hope this doesn’t affect class of 2016.</p>
<p>I’m so glad it doesn’t affect my class:) Good luck to you guys!</p>
<p>When the new 2005 SAT came around, colleges in 2006 were still accepting SAT scores based on the old format. They’ll probably do the same thing again. In addition, read the first paragraph of the article drusba posted. Collegeboard is making the vocabulary easier… there’s always good and bad things with changes. And it doesn’t seem like it’ll be anything drastic, like adding a whole other section or completely taking away identifying error problems (though, the latter one would be lovely). If it hasn’t been heavily publicized, you shouldn’t be worrying about it yet.</p>
<p>As to question above about how long an SAT is good for, most colleges accept SATs up to five years old; College Board says that those more than 5 years old should not be considered reliable as an indicator for college success any longer and thus most colleges reject older ones. Following the 2005 change (started with March 2005 test), most colleges continued to accept the old SAT for about four years (effectively those up to five years old).</p>
<p>It’s not really a big deal, I think you can prep/study the same way</p>
<p>Everyone else in your class will be in the same boat, regardless of whether it’s the old format or new format. Chill out.</p>
