An invaluable tool for students preparing to take the NEW SAT exam More than 3 million SATs were administered in 2002. Beginning in March 2005, the SAT will undergo the most dramatic change in its 76-year history. The total score possible will increase from 1600 to 2400; analogies will be dropped from the format; and, most radical of all, a new SAT essay writing component will be added.
