The former SAT Verbal section will become the SAT Critical Reading section. The SAT will no longer include analogies. Instead, short reading sections will be added to existing long reading passages. Sentence completion items will remain in this section.
A new SAT Writing section will be added. This section will contain multiple-choice grammar questions as well as a written essay.
The SAT Math section will be expanded to cover three years of high school math. Instead of just covering concepts from Geometry and Algebra I, the new SAT Math section will also contain concepts from Algebra II. In addition, quantitative comparisons will be eliminated.
