  • The Scholastic1 Assessment2 Test (SAT) will undergo sweeping3 changes this year. The overhauled4 SAT exam, which puts a heavier emphasis on reading comprehension and tests students on their real-world applications, may affect the performance of Chinese students, who have traditionally excelled in the math part of the test and relied heavily on rote5 memorization.

    美国学术能力评估测试考试(SAT)今年将大变样。改革后的SAT考试更侧重阅读理解,考察学生的实际应用能力,这或将影响中国学生的表现。中国学生一向擅长数学测试部分,并且十分依赖死记硬背。

    Education experts believe that students from immigrant families and countries where English is not the native language will be at a disadvantage when being tested with longer reading passages.

    教育专家认为,来自移民家庭以及英语非母语国家的学生面对更长的阅读段落将处于不利地位。

    The new SAT is going back to the old 1600 scale (400-1600) and doing away with the 2400 scale (600-2400).

    新SAT考试将重回之前的1600分制(400-1600),取消2400分制(600-2400)。

    Students will earn points for the questions they answer correctly but will not lose points for incorrect answers, as they did on the old test.

    在新的SAT考试中,学生们答对得分,答错也不倒扣分。而在旧的SAT考试中,答错要倒扣分。

    Not only will there be fewer questions, but students can spend less time taking the SAT. The old test took 225 minutes, but the new one takes 180 minutes, if you skip the essay.

    新的SAT考试不仅题数变少了,学生们的考试时间也变短了。旧的SAT考试时长为225分钟,如果考生不考作文的话,新的SAT考试时长为3小时。

    The College Board has made several changes to the SAT essay, the biggest of which is that it's now optional. Students are no longer required to write an essay, but some colleges and still require it.

    美国大学理事会对SAT作文考试做了很多变革,其中最大的变化就是作文变成选考。学生们不再被强制要求要写作文,不过一些大学仍要求考生写作。

    Instead of quizzing students on words they'll never use again like "abrogate6" or "plaudit".

    新的SAT考试不再使用学生不常用到的词,例如“abrogate”、“plaudit”。

    The new SAT has two math sections, one where you can use a calculator and one where you can't. The no-calculator section is new and was designed to make it easier for colleges to assess students' understanding of math concepts, according to The College Board.

    新的SAT考试有两个数学部分,其中一部分可以使用计算器,另一部分不可以。不可以使用计算器的部分是新设的,美国大学理事会表示,设立该部分是为了让大学更简单地考察考生对数学概念的理解能力。

    The new test will have an increased emphasis on questions that make students infer information from graphs and charts, especially in the reading section.

    新SAT考试的题目将注重让考生从图形和图表中推断出信息,尤其是在阅读部分。

    US students will take the new test for the first time in March and the new test will be first administered internationally in May.

    美国学生将于3月迎来新SAT首考,而全球范围的新SAT首考将在5月举行。
