Peach State Tutoring & Test Prep in Alpharetta, GA, is the home of comprehensive tutoring that prepares students for all facets of an upcoming, important standardized exam. The team of tutors knows how nervous your student can be, how eager he or she is to perform well, and how essential the test is to his or her educational goals. 

As part of their effort to keep students prepared for any potential curve balls the new SAT could throw their way, Peach State Tutoring & Test Prep has heavily investigated what they can expect from the newest SAT. The tutors on the team are well-versed in the latest changes, so they will help your child understand what these changes are and how to navigate them. Take a look at the changes your child can expect:

  • No Penalty For Guessing: Students don't need to decide if they should guess on an answer anymore. There's no harm in doing so once the 2016 test rolls around.
  • No Essay-Writing: This is a huge relief for lots of students. The new "essay" involves reading a passage and answering a question about it (which will be provided before the exam).
  • Using Evidence: This is a great skill! Students will have to answer questions about a passage and select which piece of evidence best supports that answer.
  • Contextual Vocabulary: Instead of defining uncommon, puzzling words, vocabulary will now be about defining a word based upon its context.
  • Graphs & Charts: Reading won't just be about skimming through passages. It will also be about studying and explaining graphs and charts.
  • New Documents: Reading samples will incorporate more famous texts that students may have studied in school like The Declaration of Independence.

The re-vamped SAT may seem like a new challenge, but it's a surmountable one thanks to the expertise of a tutor at Peach State. SAT testing doesn't need to be foreboding. Help your child feel ready to embrace the new SAT in 2016 by calling Peach State Tutoring & Test Prep at (678) 824-6890
