Should You Take The Old or New SAT Exam?

There is a lot of news about the new SAT exam coming out this spring that has parents and high school students worried, and with good reason! The College Board has not released a new SAT exam in over 10 years and this one has some major changes in it. You can visit some of our past blog posts for more detailed info about the changes. Right now I'd like to focus on which one to take while there is still an opportunity. The Washington Post has an excellent on-line short quiz to help parents and students determine which one they'd do better on. You can find it here:
