These updates, effective from March 2016 onwards, include aligning the test more closely with high school curricula, emphasizing the importance of challenging coursework, and eliminating obscure vocabulary words in favor of those more relevant to academic and professional life. The new SAT also removes the penalty for guessing, meaning students are only evaluated on the questions they answer correctly, encouraging a more strategic approach to the exam. A key focus is on mathematical concepts that are most crucial for success in college and a variety of career paths, ensuring that the test assesses skills directly applicable to future endeavors. To support this transition, the College Board has partnered with Khan Academy to offer free, personalized SAT practice materials, designed to complement classroom learning and foster long-term skill development rather than focusing solely on test cramming. Fee waivers will be available for eligible students, and most colleges are committed to accepting scores from both the current and redesigned SAT for a transitional period, though prospective students are advised to confirm specific score policies with their chosen institutions. The new SAT is designed to be a more effective tool for guiding students toward their college and career aspirations.",{"@graph":69,"@context":126},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/5-key-changes-to-the-new-sat/266559/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/5-key-changes-to-the-new-sat/266559.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Arica Lee","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-20","2026-09-14",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118,122],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"When will the new SAT be administered?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The new SAT will be administered for the first time in March 2016 and for all subsequent test dates.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What is the College Board's approach to vocabulary on the new SAT?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"The new SAT has eliminated obscure \"SAT vocabulary words\" and will instead feature words that students are more likely to encounter and use in their academic and professional lives, such as \"synthesis.\"",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"Is there a penalty for guessing on the new SAT?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"No, there is no penalty for guessing on the new SAT.
