But this year, big changes are coming to the sats. Wdbj7s Amanda Kenney shows us what your child needs to know before they take the test. Werent worried enough about taking the sats. Now changes are coming. Cameron johnson junior im really stressed out about it, to be honest. I know im going to have to do a lot of preparation. But counselors are saying, they shouldnt be so concerned. Hayley poland its really beneficial for the students. Theyre being able to use what they learned in the classroom and how we teach them on a daily basis, they can use on the test. The new sat will include a 65 minute reading section. And a 55 minute math section. The essay is twice as long, but optional. And the scoring will go back to the 1600 scale, with points awarded for correct answers not deductions for wrong answers. Hayley they are encouraging students to guess and if they dont know they can take a guess and potentially get it right. Theres no penalty for wrong answers. Kaplan test prep suggests looking for areas on the test with the most opporutnity. Kaplan test prep for instance theres trig on the new sat but if you havent had trig and youre not gonna get trig before your test about that. Worry about the algebra because theres a lot more of that. And you still can take it more than once. Mckinzie thomas junior i plan on taking a practice test over and over again to see if i can get a higher score. I might take it twice. Taisha steele you can never take the sat enough. I know it does cost money however, the more a student takes the sat, the more practice theyre going to get with the sat. Most School Districts have sat prep courses or you can pay for private tutoring. And you can use the kahn Academy Online to practice for free. But counselors tell us you may want to start thinking about it as early as freshman year. Becuase a better score, could mean more scholarship money. In roanoke, Amanda Kenney, wdbj7.
