By Kimberly hefling The Associated Press washinGton » The perfect score will again be 1,600. What's more, the essay will be optional, students will no longer be penalized for wrong answers and the vo - cabulary is shifting to do away with some high-sound- ing words such as "prevari- cator" and "sagacious." The SAT college entrance exam is undergoing a sweep- ing revision. College Board officials said Wednesday the update — the first since 2005 — is needed to make the exam more representative of what students study in high school and the skills they need to succeed in college and af - terward. The test should offer "worthy challenges, not ar- tificial obstacles," said Col- lege Board President David Coleman at an event in Aus- tin, Texas. The new exam will be rolled out in 2016, so this year's ninth-graders will be the first to take it, in their ju - nior year. The new SAT will con- tinue to test reading, writ- ing and math skills, with an emphasis on analysis. With the 1,600-point scale, which had been used until 2004, there will be a separate score for the optional essay. Some complicated vocabu - lary words will be replaced by words more widely used in classroom and work set- tings. For the first time, stu- dents will have the option of taking the test on comput- ers. Once the predominant college admissions exam, the SAT in recent years has been overtaken in popular - ity by the competing ACT, which has long been con- sidered more curriculum- based. The ACT offers an op- tional essay and announced last year it would begin mak- ing computer-based testing available in 2015. One of the biggest changes in the SAT is that the extra penalty for wrong answers, which discouraged guess- ing, will be eliminated. And some vocabulary words will be replaced with words such as "synthesis" and "empiri - cal" — words that are used more widely in classrooms and in work settings. Each exam will include a passage drawn from "found - ing documents" such as the Declaration of Independence or from discussions they've inspired. Instead of testing a wide range of math concepts, the new exam will focus on a few areas, like algebra, deemed most needed for college and life afterward. A calculator will be allowed only on cer - tain math questions, instead of on the entire math portion. eXam Under new SAT, 1,600 is perfect again 607 Main Street, Red Bluff 530-527-0772 As of Thursday, February 20 th NOW OPEN every Thurs., Fri. & Sat. for Dinner 5pm to 8pm Come Join Us www.redbluff.mercy.org /veincare Get a Leg up on Your Health With the St. Elizabeth Center for Vein Care.
