The SAT has undergone major changes over the last decade, from removing penalties for guessing and shortening exam length to launching the fully digital format in 2023. These shifts have made the test more accessible yet equally demanding in critical thinking and time management. Scoring above 1500 remains a key benchmark for applicants targeting top-tier universities. This seminar will unpack the test’s evolution, highlight the challenges students face, and provide expert strategies to boost performance. With insights from The Grove Education’s tutors and counsellors, attendees will learn how to optimise preparation and approach the SAT with confidence.
