1、2016年5月新SAT首考阅读：历史类文章解题技巧

您好，我是专注留学考试规划和留学咨询的小钟老师。留学申请的每一步都充满挑战，我在这里为您提供从留学目的地选择到申请材料准备的全方位支持。您的留学梦想，我们一同实现，敬请访问！

在新SAT的OG中，College Board (以下简称CB）发布了新的文章体裁，其中有一个体裁显得特别的引人注目：History！在OG的练习以及3月首考之后学生的反馈信息来看，历史类的文章主要分为两大类：一类是和建国文献有关，另一类是和女权主义有关。

建国文献，不言而喻，和美国的历史有关；美国的建国历史可以作为背景材料来理解考试所选的篇章。在美国的历史背景中，指的注意的是：美国并不是像其他的殖民国家一样，遭到过英国的独裁专制；相反，美国更像是英国的附属国，有自己的国民议会，通过国民议会对英王汇报事务。其次，美国在建国的过程中并不是一帆风顺的，因此，在通过联邦宪法之后，会有很大的争议。在考试的文章中，有对宪法规定的内容进行争论的正反观点。

如果说，对于开国文献我们不熟悉，至少能够看得懂，美国建国历史可以给我们当做背景的补充；那么，女权主义相对来说就要难一些。

女权主义在OG的文章中几乎每套题都出现。女权主义到底是指的什么？曾经问过我所带的每一位学生，包括在美国上学的学生，对于女权的了解仅仅停留在女性的选举权和受教育权。而事实上，女权所包含的内容非常的广泛。女权的范围非常的广泛，包括：educational opportunity, economic opportunity, equal rights to political participation, an end to violence against women, and end to sexual double standard, respect women’s work at home, and jobs that fulfill family responsibility.

也是就包括受教育权，享有经济权利，平等的政治权利，结束对妇女的暴力行为，结束性别歧视，尊重妇女的工作等等。因此，当我们看到有关妇女的教育和工作的文章的时候，我们就知道这是有关于女权的文章。

在女权的文章中有的文章并不是很好懂。例如OG当中有一篇是Virginia Woolf。Virginia Woolf是一个意识流派的作家,同时也是一位女权主义者。她的文章中会出现一些同学们比较难懂的句子，说的非常的隐晦，会让大家不知道到底在说什么？我们来看下面一句话：

在这里，我们会看到段首句说的是：在泰晤士桥上，这里是非常有利于做调查的。自然，我们会想到这会说接下来会讲要做什么样的调查。但是，Virgina 并没有写什么调查，反而是在描写泰晤士河的景色：河水从桥下流过，货船装负载着木材和玉米。桥的一遍是城市的建筑，另一边是威斯敏斯特教堂和议会。看到这里，完全不明白Virgina想要说什么。开始说这里对于调查研究有利，但是后面却是在描写风景。因此，看到这里，我们就需要继续往下看，后文会有地方来解释我们无法理解的句子。后文写到：

但是现在不行现在我们时间紧迫。现在我们要关心事实；现在我们要把我们的目光投射到procession上，这群人就是受教育的男人的儿子们（其实也就是受教育的男人）

那么我们现在可以知道，作者在这里所描写的这座桥，就是为了引出后文对于这类受教育的男人的关注。那么Virginia Woolf是一个女权作家，自然我们就知道，这篇文章主要想要描述的就是女性教育这一方面的问题。

因此，历史类的文章，如果对于背景有一定的了解，对于我们理解文章是有一定的帮助的。在这类文章中遇见读不懂的句子，不要着急，继续往下读，作者想要说的东西就会自然的浮现出来。最后，关于新SAT亚太首考的最新消息，大家可以参考新SAT亚太首考现场直击专题，获取更多2023年SAT考试情况。祝大家SAT考试取得理想分数。

2、新SAT文法首现多图比较图表题

您好，我是专注留学考试规划和留学咨询的小钟老师。在追寻留学梦想的路上，选择合适的学校和专业，准备相关考试，都可能让人感到迷茫和困扰。作为一名有经验的留学顾问，我在此为您提供全方位的专业咨询和指导。欢迎随时提问！https://liuxue.87dh.com/

2016年新SAT考试改革中，题目设计上很大的一个变化就是在文科科目中加入了数据分

【想要了解更多关于语言考试的准备技巧吗？请浏览 https://liuxue.87dh.com/ 找到答案，小钟老师随时为您服务！】

析的题目，也就是图表类题目，在美国当地时间2016年3月5日的新SAT全球首考中，图表类题目在东海岸麻省和纽约考区出现了多图对比的题目，这个类型的图表题目以往官方的材料中并未出现多图比较的题目，而本次首考真题中，出现通过三个图表，比较K62，K69与earth，及Mars之间的距离哪两个是相等的。题目形式上和以往的看图表完成数据分析有所不同，需要考生对于三张图做出相互对比来进行分析，从而得出相同距离的选项。本次考试的图表题目不仅数量变为多图对比，图表内容也是天文学科的专业信息，本身解题难度并不大，但是需要考生能具备看懂学科图表的能力。

但其实，在图表题目方面，方法还是有迹可寻的，掌握正确的读取图表的方法会帮助我们快速解决图表类难题。下面我们具体分析图表类题目的解题方法。

Quantitative Information题目不仅考察对原文文本的理解，更要求考生对量化的数据信息有较强的读取能力。关于数据图表的理解，需要大家注意以下几点：

1、阅读题干，清晰理解题干要求；

2、精读图表标题、批注、介绍等，了解图表数据的内容；

3、确认横纵轴分别代表什么数值，一定要注意数据的单位；

4、对应数据和图例，重点关注图例代表的信息；

5、匹配题干要求，排除法解题。

例如下面这道题：

Today, epidemiology is considered a basic science of public health. It is a quantitative discipline built on probability, statistics, and research methods, a method of causal reasoning based on developing and testing hypotheses, and a tool to promote and protect the health of the public. Examples of applied epidemiology include monitoring reports of communicable diseases in the community; and tracking down the cause of a food-borne outbreak. While many epidemiologists work for health departments at the local and state levels, a number are also employed by colleges and universities. （1）In 2012, the median wage for epidemiologists in the United States was around $60,000, though this number was substantially larger for those working in the state government. For those interested in pursuing a career in this field, the prospects also look bright, but employment is projected to grow 10 percent between 2012 and 2022.

(1) After reviewing the passage and the graph, the writer determines that the statement made in the underlined sentence is not accurate. Which of the following revisions should the writer make to correct the inaccuracy?

(A) Replace $60,000” with “$50,000.”

(B) Replace “$60,000” with “$100,000.”

(C) Replace “state government” with “local government.”

(D) Replace “state government” with “private sector.”

这道题目出错率很高，错误原因并不在于数据的复杂性，而是大多数人没有仔细理解坐标单位的意义。所以解题时我们要重点注意图表的图例、坐标等信息，上面这道题目的横轴percentile表示的是百分点，即在某一百分数数值以内任意可能的数值，故在annual income在60,000的时候，private sector的百分点在25%以下，而Local Government和State Government都在50%~75%之间，明显大于private sector的比例，所以本题目答案D项也就可以轻易选出。在解上面这道题目的时候我们需要注意确认题干要求，重点在于图表数据的解读能力，正确读懂图表的信息，答案用排除法即可得出结论。

以上就是新SAT文法图表题中需要注意的解题关键点。无论考试形式如何改变，复习中熟练掌握核心解题技巧，搞清楚数据关系，各种形式的图表问题都可以迎刃而解。希望对考生们有所帮助！

4、SAT重回1600分 新版2016年实施

您好，我是专注留学考试规划和留学咨询的小钟老师。在追寻留学梦想的路上，选择合适的学校和专业，准备相关考试，都可能让人感到迷茫和困扰。作为一名有经验的留学顾问，我在此为您提供全方位的专业咨询和指导。欢迎随时提问！https://liuxue.87dh.com/ AUSTIN, Texas -- The venerable SAT college admissions test will look very different in spring 2016. And, according to the new test\'s architect, there will be "no more mysteries."

The essay will be optional, and will be based on a source document included in the test. The top test score will be 1,600 -- as it was before 2005, when the writing section and essay were added. The test\'s two mandatory sections, "evidence-based reading and writing," and math, and will take up to three hours to complete. The essay will take up to 50 minutes, and will be scored separately.

Some math questions will prohibit calculator use. Students will no longer lose points for wrong answers. The test will be available both in print and digitally. The price hasn\'t been announced.

David Coleman, who in 2012 became president of the nonprofit company College Board that owns the SAT, will present the broad outline of the test redesign in a speech in Austin on Wednesday, part of the SXSWedu conference. The changes are meant to mitigate the unfair test-prep culture the SAT has engendered, to foster more meaningful learning in school, and to make the testing process more open, Coleman said in the prepared text of his speech. More details will be released in mid-April.

"We plan to make an exam that is clearer and more open than any in our history," Coleman said in the speech. "We need to get rid of the sense of mystery and dismantle the advantages that people perceive in using costly test preparation.\'"

The new test will be so un-mysterious that Coleman is already giving away one question -- the essay: "As you read the passage in front of you, consider how the author uses evidence such as facts or examples, reasoning to develop ideas and to connect claims and evidence, and stylistic or persuasive elements to add power to the ideas expressed. Write an essay in which you explain how the author builds an argument to persuade an audience." Only the source material will vary.

Coleman condemned the old SAT and its competitor, the ACT, calling them out of touch, and sometimes inadvertent culprits in creating educational inequity.

"It is time to admit that the SAT and ACT have become disconnected from the work of our high schools," he said. "Too many feel that the prevalence of test prep and expensive coaching reinforces privilege rather than merit.

"It is time for the College Board to say in a clear voice that the culture and practice of costly test preparation … drives the perception of inequality and injustice in our country," Coleman said. "It may not be our fault but it is our problem."

The goal, according to Coleman, is getting students to engage more deeply in day-to-day schooling. "What this country needs is not more tests, but more opportunities," he said. "It is time for the College Board to move from measuring to acting."

The College Board will make other adjustments with the test redesign. Every student who takes the SAT and is below a certain income threshold will receive four waivers for college application fees. The College Board is working with The Atlantic magazine to create a contest that showcases students\' best SAT essays. And in a move that will likely draw resistance from the test-preparation industry, the College Board is partnering with the online, YouTube-based study guide Khan Academy to create free test-preparation tools for students. The videos will have exclusive access to practice problems from actual SAT tests.

The new exam reflects the sensibilities of Common Core State Standards, the guidelines for what students should be learning in each grade that Coleman helped design, as well as those of other states that have made their standards more rigorous. Currently, 46 states have adopted the Common Core, and teachers are already implementing the standards. Some educators have said they think the revamped SAT may encourage Common Core states to continue rolling out the guidelines, despite growing political opposition in some places.

"What I sense here -- all of us who have been in these conversations assume the same thing -- David Coleman is bringing the Common Core to the SAT," said Anthony Carnevale, a Georgetown University professor who leads the school\'s Center on Education and the Workforce. Carnevale was not formally briefed on the SAT changes. But as a former vice president of Educational Testing Services, he was involved with conversations around the revamped test.

Coleman has repeatedly said the Common Core aims to have students learn focused material based on the idea that standards should be "fewer, clearer, higher." Like the Common Core, the SAT reading section will include non-literary texts, including non-fiction, social studies, science, and historical articles. Students will be asked to analyze data "in real-world contexts, including identifying and correcting inconsistencies between the two," according to a College Board memo.

The test also will include at least one American founding document, or a document on "Great Global Conversation they inspire." Students will be required to cite evidence from source texts to support answers. Vocabulary words will move away from obscure, so-called SAT words to words like "synthesis" and "empirical" likely to be used in college and whose meanings shift with context.

One Common Core goal was to have students "read like a detective," basing inferences on evidence instead of personal feelings. The new SAT\'s source-based essay is supposed to help colleges judge students\' analytical abilities, since a document will enable scorers to fact-check the basis of assertions, instead of merely grading writing and coherence.

And in math, Common Core aims to have students focus on numerical fluency and mastering fewer concepts, but fundamental ones. The new SAT\'s math section will focus on three areas: "Problem Solving and Data Analysis," the "Heart of Algebra" and "Passport to Advanced Math."

"It is really about being quantitatively literate," Coleman said, comparing elemental algebra skills to a "trunk of a tree or the handle of a fork."

Carol Jago, who leads the College Board\'s English Academic Advisory Committee, and the University of California, Los Angeles California Reading and Literature Project, said the new test\'s Common Core similarities have less to do with the new state standards than with broader educational shifts.

"Both the Common Core and this redesign are a result of this zeitgeist -- the statistics on students who are arriving in college who aren\'t ready for credit-bearing work," Jago said. "This movement to bring more rigor, more authenticity, bring a reading-writing task, comes from the same fire."

A few states, including Texas, are not implementing the Common Core. But the revamped SAT nevertheless will be relevant, according to Donald Kamentz, who directs college initiatives at YES Prep Public Schools, a charter school chain, and who sat on the national SAT committee.

"We were assured that this assessment is aligned to … even our state math" and English standards, he said. "It is a broader sense of the skills needed for college readiness and career readiness."

The new test will come with a warning that a standardized test is but one measure of a student\'s academic prowess -- a warning that Stephen Handel, the University of California associate vice president in charge of undergraduate admissions, stressed. "What we need is what we\'ve always needed: Indicators that are reliable and valid which give us the sense of a student\'s potential," said Handel, who was briefed on the redesign. "Without seeing the test itself, it\'s hard to say [whether the new test will be more predictive of student success in college," he added. "In theory, it\'s a great idea."

Others disagreed. Gary Gruber, a physicist who publishes SAT preparation books, said he worried the changes would "dumb down" the test.

"They\'re taking out difficult vocabulary words," Gruber said. "You have a word like magnanimous, but there\'s a strategy -- associate it with another word like magnify. That\'s something you don\'t want to lose."

Carnevale said he expects the new test to become a better measure of economically driven educational inequity.

"The better the test gets, the more carefully it\'ll reflect the underlying distribution of income and power in America, and that\'s a problem," Carnevale said.

Coleman "is a key player in the American personnel system in a world where his test is the one thing that can go wrong for a middle-class family trying to ensure that their children are middle class," Carnevale continued. "People are very invested in this test, so he has to be very careful."

【新闻快讯】

美国大专院校委员会5日宣布，将对俗称美国“高考”的SAT(学习能力测试)实施改革，包括将作文改为选考项目、突出常用词汇、推出机考等，新版考试自2016年起正式实施。

这将是SAT考试自2005年以来首次重要改版。委员会总裁戴维·科尔曼当天宣布，新版考试将继续考核阅读、数学、写作等能力，突出分析能力的重要性，将使考试内容更适合评测学生在高中阶段的学习情况以及对大学学习的适应能力。他说，希望这些改革措施能让广大学子“如释重负”。

改革重点包括：总分由2400分改为1600分，包括阅读800分、数学800分，考试时间3个小时；其中作文部分由必考项改为自选项，考试时间50分钟，分数另计，将提供一篇文章，重点测试学生对文章使用论据、论述过程的分析能力，而非作者本身的论述能力；数学测试部分将缩小范围，并

限定计算器只适用于其中部分环节；取消现行的“错题扣分”原则，这一原则起初是为了预防学生在考试中“猜答案”而设；调整词汇量考试范围，减少对生僻词汇的考核，更突出日常学习中常用词汇；阅读部分要增加一篇“经典”阅读材料，包括《独立宣言》等节选。此外，还准备推出机考，与笔试并行。

据美国媒体报道，美国大专院校委员会近年来在酝酿SAT考试改革，原因之一也是为了应对美国另一项大学入学标准测试——ACT的竞争。SAT考试在美国东海岸和西海岸地区更受欢迎，去年共有170万人参加。ACT考试在美国中部更受欢迎，但自2012年以来在全美大有赶超SAT之势。ACT考试已计划于2015年推出机考。
