SAT vs ACT vs New SAT

What is new about the SAT?

The changes to the SAT are mostly cosmetic (not content). They are changing their layout, number of questions, length per question, and scoring to come more in line with the ACT (because ACT was taking market share).

You should look for prep materials focus on teaching skills and real content…not tricks or gimmicks. Nevertheless, some of the question types will change slightly. However, they are still going to test the basic skills: Math, Reading, Logic, and Grammar–(vocab is tested to a lesser degree inside of Reading and Logic).

If you want more specifics about the SAT changes coming in March 2016, here is an article that lists the specific changes: The 7 Changes to the SAT.
