2016年SAT考试即将改革，小站教育整理了此次SAT改革的几条细则，大家不难看出，在新SAT考试中的变化有：错题不减分、自选式写作、机考、1600分制几项内容。

国外知名媒体今日透露史无前例的新SAT考试重大改革举措：

1.容许猜题，答错不扣分；

2.作文部分仅作备选，总分从2400分变成原来的1600分；

3.可以使用计算机机考。

College Board 主席大卫.库乐门(David Coleman)称SAT与其说重新设计，不如说重归前原来的宗旨：为更多人提供机会!

突出的SAT大学入学考试将返回到其先前的1600点评分系统，本文的部分将在2016可选的启动，集团创建测试星期三说，在近十年来任何考试的高中生对大学眼科常见的最大的改造。

The group that makes the test, the College Board, also announced a unprecedented test-preparation partnership with the online Kahn Academy that could cut deep into the lucrative business of the existing test-prep industry. Under the new test format, which last underwent an overhaul in 2005, no points will be deducted for wrong answers, encouraging students to take a chance if they’re unsure of the answer. Students will be able to choose whether or not they complete the essay portion of the test, and for those who don’t, the top score will go from 2,400 back to the older 1,600. And vocabulary words will be more practical words like “synthesis,” instead of the archaic SAT vocabulary words that have long pained cramming high school students, but rarely occur in normal conversation. Students will also be able to take the test on a computer.

And in a bid to expand access to college, qualifying low-income students who take the test will get their application fees waived in applying to four schools.

“What this country needs is not more tests, but more opportunities,” College Board president David Coleman said in a statement. “The real news today is not just the redesigned SAT, but the College Board’s renewed commitment to delivering opportunity.”

Coleman also announced a new partnership with Kahn Academy to provide free, online test-prep. In a dig at the test-prep industry, Coleman said the status quo promotes inequality by charging high fees for testing secrets.

“If there are no more secrets,” he said, “it’s very hard to pay for them.”
