Special Topics Now Covered In The SAT Math Section
There have been some recent changes in the Math section on the SAT test that students are taking. There have been some additions and some subtractions within the last few years that are leaving students having to study different subjects that were previously not covered. The SAT is an important factor with a lot of colleges today and the scores that you achieve can control what you are able to do down the road with a career choice. They decided to do away with the quantitative comparison questions that had been a part of the test for years and replace it with questions about Algebra II and scatter plots. These changes have resulted in making the test shorter. The exam is more quantitative and requires a higher level of mathematics courses than the previous exam did.
With the new changes in effect it is changing the way that students have to prepare for the exam. They have to make sure that they have the Algebra II knowledge that is now required in order to ensure success and a passing score. The SAT changes are supposed to make the testing shorter, which in turn is better for the students and teachers.
