The New SAT

Education Week looks at the revamped SAT, set to debut in March 2005, and its effects on schools and students.

January 30, 2007  The Bush administration's plan for NCLB renewal includes expanding the role of charter schools and revamping high school instruction.

February 1, 2005  Students taking the revamped SAT this spring will face a broader test of their abilities in advanced mathematics, a level of rigor that reflects the higher standards many states are making a part of their high school graduation requirements.

February 1, 2005  Starting in March, the SAT, taken annually by more than 1.4 million college-bound students, will undergo its most significant change since 1994. Changes include revised math and critical reading sections, and a new writing portion.
