To help you understand the difference between the old SAT and the new SAT, check out these major changes in format, brought to you by the highly skilled SAT tutors at Mathnasium of South Windsor:

• Reading & Writing: While the old test included three critical reading sections, the new SAT requires test takers to complete one evidence-based reading and writing test. You must complete the reading section in 65 minutes and the language and writing section in 35 minutes.
• Math: The old test consisted of three math sections, each taking 20 to 25 minutes each. Now, the exam requires students to complete one math test that is divided into two sections: one that allows you to use a calculator and one that doesn't. The math section will take about one hour and 30 minutes in total. Get the extra help that you need for this section with the SAT tutors at Mathnasium of South Windsor!
• Essay: If you don't know whether you need to take the essay portion of the SAT, check with your prospective college. Some schools require it for admission, and others don't. For those who intend to take this optional section, you'll need to prepare to craft an essay in 50 minutes.
• Multiple Choice: In regards to multiple- choice questions, it's important to note that the SAT now offers fewer choices (four, as opposed to the five included in the past). This means that you'll have a better chance at guessing if you do not know the answer.
