The New SATs

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, March 15, 2005.

They're the source of anxiety for many-a-teenager and could make or break an entry to your college of choice. The Standard Aptitude Tests or SATs have for years tested high school juniors and seniors on their Math and English skills. This year they?ve been given a makeover with tougher math, more reading comprehension and a new writing section. We?ll look at the new changes to the SATs, what they?re indicative of, and how they?ll affect college admissions offices across the country. Laura's guests are Robert McGann, Director of Admissions for the University of New Hampshire. Randy Young, Dean of Guidance at Salem High School. Kay Dietrich, Educational Manager of Higher Education Service and Northeast Regional Representative for The College Board and Max Cantor, a 17-year old junior at Bow High School who just took the SATs this weekend.
