UF admissions prepares for changes to SAT

[Gator88NE]

High school students applying for UF next year may need to submit scores from a new SAT.

Starting in March 2016, high school students will take a new version of the SAT that doesn’t penalize for guessing and will make the writing portion optional. Students applying for admission to UF for Summer or Fall 2017 can submit the old or new SAT, said Andrea Felder, the director of freshman and international admissions.

She said the College Board will provide UF with information on how scores from the two tests compare in May. They haven’t been told how the two will compare yet.
