March 10, 200519 yr comment_448701 The new SAT's are said to be easier, so why would you be releived? These people are gonna have a easier break. I do well with those kind of tests, its all about vocabulary. And math, of course.

March 10, 200519 yr Author comment_448706 How does the new SAT work? 707098[/snapback] Math is the same, but apparently harder.  Verbal is now "Critical Reading" and has no analogies Writing has multiple choice and an essay.

March 11, 200519 yr Author comment_448709 Some tips on the essay: -4 paragraphs, one into, two body, one conclusion. The body paragraphs are examples of whatever the prompt is talking about. One is a current example, the other is an example from history. Relate each paragraph back to the thesis. Have a good opening sentence and use four or five big words. That advice will get you at least at a 4. If you organize it well you are guarenteed a 5, leave grammar/ spelling mistakes at a minimun and you've got a 6.
