Beginning in the spring of 2016, students will take a redesigned SAT the board says focuses on more relevant vocabulary words that "students will use consistently in college and beyond," draws from fewer math topics and does not deduct points for incorrect answers, as it has done in the past. The essay section, which was first made mandatory in the SAT's 2005 revamp that also established its current 2400-point scale, now will be optional and separately scored.


Congratulations on your future 1500+ scores, high school kids.

Anything to avoid uncomfortable realities. They're taking AP classes out of Math and English too. Grade performance is racist and unfair. We have to lower the bar for everyone.
