To find out if you’d score higher on the new SAT and why that might be the case, read on!  \n3  \n1:  \n>  \nWhat’s Changed?  \nKey Point: It’s now relatively easier to get a high numerical score on the SAT; how much higher depends on what you were scoring before .  \nCollege Board premiered the new SAT March 2016, with a new out-of-1600 scoring system that now gives one outof-800 Math score and out-of-800 Reading score .  \nThe increased importance of Math to the overall SAT score isn’t all that’s changed, however; the difficulty of the individual sections appears to have shifted as well.  \n4  \n1: What’s Changed?  \nBased on data released by the College Board, a 700 on the old SAT Math isn’t the same as a 700 on the new SAT Math section . Similarly, a 700 on the old SAT Reading and 700 on SAT Writing isn't the same as a 700 on the new SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section .  \nEven after adjusting for the 1600/2400 change, it’s easier to get a higher score on the new SAT than it was on the old SAT, especially if you had an average score. The amount by which you’d score higher varies with your scoring range .  \n5  \n2: Old vs . New SAT Math  \nThe comparison for this section is pretty straightforward: based on the concordance tables released this spring by the College Board, there’s an average 29 point increase on the new SAT Math section compared to scores on the old version .  \nThis average does not take into account number of people who score at each score point, however; you can’t expect score 30 points better no matter what your old SAT score was . The graph on the next page sheds a little more light on the matter.  \n6  \nScore Increase on New SAT Math  \nOld SAT vs. New SAT Math Scores  \n60  \n50  \n40  \n30  \n20  \n10  \n0  \n200  \n220  \n240  \n260  \n280  \n300  \n320  \n340  \n360  \n380  \n400  \n420  \n440  \n460  \n480  \n500  \n520  \n540  \n560  \n580  \n600  \n620  \n640  \n660  \n680  \n700  \n720  \n740  \n760  \n780  \n800  \nOld SAT Math Scores  \n7  \n2: Old vs. New SAT Math  \nHere's an example of how the score difference between the old and new SAT Math sections works out: If you got a 730/800 on the old SAT Math section (shown as a black vertical bar in the graph on the previous page) and took the new SAT with exactly the same preparation and skills, you’d likely score a 760/800. If you scored around the national average of 510 on the old SAT Math section, you'd similarly expect to see a new SAT Math score of 540 .  \n> Conclusion: Except for those scoring at the very extremes of the range, most students can expect to see at least a 20 point increase from their old SAT Math scores on the new SAT Math section .  \n8  \n3: Old vs . New SAT Reading/Writing  \n>  \nKey Point: Harder to compare because of change from 1600 to 800 score range; still, new SAT scoreson these sections are relatively","cbCaie9eWH2uW48s","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie9eWH2uW48s","pdf",3736887,15,"English","# Intro\n# What’s Changed?\n# Old vs .
