21 The Redesigned SAT 3 Sections 2 Sections Optional essay
22 Redesign or rebranding? -- ACT takers have outnumbered SAT takers since The ACT is reputed to be the more relevant, content-based test -- Achievement, not aptitude -- Free preparation material at khanacademy.org -- deliveringopportunity.org This is a clear message that good hard work is going to pay off and achievement is going to pay off. This is one of the most significant developments that I have seen in the 40-plus years that I ve been working in admissions in higher education. -- Dean of Admissions, Harvard University
23 Highlights Still an Endurance Test Including the optional essay, total test time increases to 3 hours and 50 minutes Back to 1600 Math: Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (Verbal): A Longer, Optional Essay Score (6-24) not factored into the Evidence-Based Writing or cumulative scores Analyze and respond to a piece of text 50 minutes, up from 25

31 Sample ACT science question A photocell is a device for generating an electrical current from light. Each photocell contains a metal. A photon of light that strikes the metal can eject an electron from the metal if the photon's energy exceeds the metal's work function. The maximum kinetic energy the ejected electron can have is the photon's energy minus the metal's work function. The amount of electrical current varies with light's relative intensity (a measure of the number of photons with a given energy striking the metal each second). Relative intensity of light Electrical current (ma)+=** Maximum kinetic energy of electron if ejected from metal (ev) Energy per Trial photon (ev)* low medium high low medium high low medium high *ev = electron volts **ma = milliamps Table 1 Table 1 shows the results of 9 trials in which a photocell was exposed to light.
