接下来
SAT改革以来，尤其是写作部分备受广大考生关注，因为我们新SAT的essay 部分改动最大。不仅由原来的required变成optional，还从传统的议论文写作变成以阅读为辅的分析性的写作模式。在时间安排上，由原来的25分钟改成50分钟。而文章主要来源于报纸期刊等，文章长度以650-700个单词为主。评分标准上，也由以前的满分12分，变为了8/8/8 (Reading阅读/Analysis分析/Writing)。
Reading
阅读方面，不建议阅读处于基础段的考生花大量时间给文章进行系统分析。只需找到并细读我们一直所强调的论点及论据，如：statistics，authoratative sources，facts等。
例如：
The rest of the world depends on darkness as well, including nocturnal and crepuscular species of birds, insects, mammals, fish and reptiles. Some examples are well known—the 400 species of birds that migrate at night in North America, the sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs—and some are not, such as the bats that save American farmers billions in pest control and the moths that pollinate 80% of the world’s flora. Ecological light pollution is like the bulldozer of the night, wrecking habitat and disrupting ecosystems several billion years in the making. Simply put, without darkness, Earth’s ecology would collapse . . .
以上文章段落，在阅读过程中，我们需先确定本段论点：“The rest of the world depends on darkness as well.” 之后快速略读本段信息，发现 “Some examples are well known—the 400 species of birds that migrate at night in North America, … ” 均为facts，并且这些facts的目的是用来证明段首论点，那么本段的阅读任务则算完成。
