Granted, the new SAT college exam is not coming until 2016 but there is wonderful news coming. A new partnership with the College Board and the Khan Academy will privide free test preparation materials starting in 2015. Afterwards some income-eligible studentsw will receive fee waivers to apply to four colleges for free.
The SAT itself is changing: three sections - evidence-based reading and writing, math - and an optional essay each redesigned to prevent the students just filling in a bubble sheet. Read this article and comment on what you think of the new changes in the SAT test. The chance for a free test prep, to me is amazing and will level the playing field for different economic groups.
