The [new version of the SAT](https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/about/key-changes "undefined") drops some hallmarks of the classic college admissions exam, including difficult vocabulary words and a penalty for incorrect answers. Students will face more science-focused problem solving on the math section, while the reading and writing sections will require students to analyze the meaning of words in context, as well as dissect the evidence used in arguments. Take our quiz below—drawn from 8 official practice questions for the 2016 exam provided by the College Board—to see how you would fare on the test; the College Board recommends that those who want more practice check out [this free test prep site](https://www.khanacademy.org/sat "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4237276/sat-2016-practice-questions-college-board/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4237276/sat-2016-practice-questions-college-board/"},"headline":"Quiz: Can You Answer These New SAT Questions?","datePublished":"2016-02-29T18:23:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:16:24.349Z","description":"The College Board has revamped the math, reading and writing exam","url":"https://time.com/4237276/sat-2016-practice-questions-college-board/","keywords":["Education"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"David Johnson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/dave-johnson/"},{"@type":"Person","name":"Julie Shapiro","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/julie-shapiro/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/education/","name":"Education"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4237276/sat-2016-practice-questions-college-board/","name":"Quiz: Can You Answer These New SAT Questions?"}}]}] ```
