Could You Pass The New SAT? [Video]

The Today Show on NBC reports the SAT is changing, how would you do on the newer test?

The change isn't too dramatic but it will include fewer sections, different answer options, and a different type of scoring.

The good news is the test is supposed to align better with what students are learning in school, and should be closer to the ACT.

The Princeton Review stopped by the Today show to talk a bit about this and they shared some sample questions from their book, Cracking the SAT. Here are some sample questions they provided NBC.
