    WHAT IS THE NEW SAT REASONING TEST AND WHAT SKILLS DOES IT MEASURE?

    ++ SAT Reasoning Test is a measure of the critical reasoning skills you will need to succeed in an academic enviroment. The SAT Reasoning Test assesses how well you analyze information and solve problems.. Click to Read more.

    SAT Reasoning Test

    The SAT Reasoning Test is a measure of the critical thinking skills you'll need for academic success in college. The SAT assesses how well you analyze and solve problems—skills you learned in school that you'll need in college. The SAT is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors.

    Each section of the SAT is scored on a scale of 200—800, with two writing subscores for multiple-choice and the essay. It is administered seven times a year in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories, and six times a year overseas.

    TYPES OF QUESTIONS TESTED ON THE NEW SAT REASONING TEST

    ++ TYPES OF QUESTIONS TESTED ON THE SAT REASONING TEST. The SAT includes a Critical Reading, Math, and Writing section, with a specific number of questions related to content in each of these SAT assessment areas....... Click to Read more.

    .

    SAT Question Types

    The SAT includes a Critical Reading, Math, and Writing section, with a specific number of questions related to content in each of these three assessment areas.

    The Critical Reading Section

    Overview

    Time Content Item Types Score
    70 min. (two 25-min. sections and one 20-min. section) Critical reading and sentence-level reading Reading comprehension, sentence completions, and paragraph-length critical reading 200-800

    The critical reading section, formerly known as the verbal section, includes short reading passages along with the existing long reading passages. Analogies have been eliminated, but sentence-completion questions and passage-based reading questions remain.

    The Critical Reading Section measures:

    • Sentence Completion
    • Passage-based Reading

    Sentence Completion questions measure your:

    • knowledge of the meanings of words
    • ability to understand how the different parts of a sentence fit logically together

    The READING questions on the SAT measure a student's ability to read and think carefully about several different passages ranging in length from about 100 to about 850 words. Passages are taken from a variety of fields, including the humanities, social studies, natural sciences, and literary fiction. They vary in style and can include narrative, argumentative, and expository elements. Some selections consist of a pair of related passages on a shared issue or theme that you are asked to compare and contrast.

    The following kinds of questions may be asked about a passage:

    • Vocabulary in Context: These questions ask you to determine the meanings of words from their context in the reading passage.
    • Literal Comprehension: These questions assess your understanding of significant information directly stated in the passage.
    • Extended Reasoning: These questions measure your ability to synthesize and analyze information as well as to evaluate the assumptions made and the techniques used by the author. Most of the reading questions fall into this category. You may be asked to identify cause and effect, make inferences, recognize a main idea or an author's tone, and follow the logic of an analogy or an argument.

    The Mathematics Section

    Overview

    Time Content Item Types Score
    70 min. (two 25-min. sections and one 20-min. section) Number and operations; algebra and functions; geometry; statistics, probability, and data analysis Five-choice multiple-choice questions and student-produced responses 200-800

    The SAT includes expanded math topics, such as exponential growth, absolute value, and functional notation, and place greater emphasis on such other topics as linear functions, manipulations with exponents, and properties of tangent lines.

    Important skills formerly measured in the quantitative comparison format, such as estimation and number sense, will continue to be measured through the multiple choice and student response (grid-in) questions.

    Can you use a calculator during the SAT Reasoning Test?

    Yes. Students can use a four-function, scientific, or graphing calculator. The College Board recommends that students use a calculator at least at the scientific level for the SAT, although it's still possible to solve every question without a calculator.

    The Math Section has two types of questions:

    • Multiple Choice -- For this section, solve each problem and decide which is the best of the choices given. Fill in the corresponding circle on the answer sheet
    • Student-Produced Response Questions --

      Questions of this type have no answer choices provided. Instead, you must solve the problem and fill in your answer on a special grid. Ten questions on the test will be of this type.

    The Writing Section

    Overview

    Time Content Item Types Score
    60 min. Grammar, usage, and word choice Multiple choice questions (35 min.) and student-written essay (25 min.) 200-800

    The writing section includes both multiple-choice questions and a direct writing measure in the form of an essay.

    Short Essay

    • The short essay measures your ability to:
      • Organize and express ideas clearly
      • Develop and support the main idea
      • Use appropriate word choice and sentence structure
    • You'll be asked to develop a point of a view on an issue, using reasoning and evidence — based on your own experiences, readings, or observations — to support your ideas.
    • The essay will be scored by trained high school and college teachers. Each reader will give the essay a score from 1 to 6 (6 is the highest score) based on the overall quality of the essay and your demonstration of writing competence.
    • Get more information about the essay:
    • Sample Essay Question --  

      "A sense of happiness and fulfillment, not personal gain, is the best motivation and reward for one's achievements. Expecting a reward of wealth or recognition for achieving a goal can lead to disappointment and frustration. If we want to be happy in what we do in life, we should not seek achievement for the sake of winning wealth and fame. The personal satisfaction of a job well done is its own reward."

    • Essay Scoring Guide  --

      SAT Writing essays are scored by experienced high school teachers and college faculty members who primarily teach English, composition, or language arts courses, or who teach a course in another subject that requires a substantial amount of writing.

      Readers will use the Scoring Guide in conjunction with sample essays selected for training. The Scoring Guide provides a consistent and coherent framework for differentiating between score points.

      Each essay will be scored independently by two qualified readers on a scale of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest score. The combined score for both readers will range from 2 to12. If the two readers' scores are more than one point apart, a third reader resolves the discrepancy.

      These sample essays were written in response to the assignment presented above. They are in rank order from highest to lowest scores (6 to 1). Each essay is followed by an essay scorer's description of why the essay received a particular score.

    Multiple-Choice Writing Section on the SAT Reasoning Test

    • The multiple-choice writing questions measure your ability to:
      • Improve sentences and paragraphs
      • Identify errors (such as diction, grammar, sentence construction, subject-verb agreement, proper word usage, and wordiness)
    • Try multiple-choice questions:
    • Identifying Sentence Errors --

      This question type measures your ability to:

      • recognize faults in usage
      • recognize effective sentences that follow the conventions of standard written English
    • Improving Sentences  --

      This question type on the SAT measures your ability to:

      • recognize and correct faults in usage and sentence structure
      • recognize effective sentences that follow the conventions of standard written English
    • Improving Paragraphs --

      This type of question measures your ability to:

      • edit and revise sentences in the context of a paragraph or entire essay
      • organize and develop paragraphs in a coherent and logical manner
      • apply the conventions of standard written English

    The Unscored Section

    In addition, there is one 25-minute unscored section, known as the variable or equating section. This unscored section may be either a critical reading, math, or writing multiple-choice section. This unscored section does not count toward the final score, but is used to try out new questions for future editions of the SAT and to ensure that scores on new editions of the SAT are comparable to scores on earlier editions of the test.

    Order of SAT Test Sections

    The 25-minute essay will always be the first section of the SAT, and the 10-minute multiple-choice writing section will always be the final section. The remaining six 25-minute sections can appear in any order, as can the two 20-minute sections. Test takers sitting next to each other in the same testing session may have test books with entirely different sections.
