国内SAT考生的一份大礼来袭！近日，CB又不甘寂寞，出来找存在感了....官网又放大招。不过这次闹腾对大家来讲应该是一个好消息。从2017年开始，8月增加一次SAT考试，以取代原有的1月考试。
CB官网通告
A test date in late August will replace the test date in late January.
Starting in summer of 2017, the College Board will offer a test in late August, which will replace the one in late January. The other dates(October, Noevember, December,March,May, and June)will not change. On their website, the College Board has released testing dates for the next 3 years, up through the spring of 2019.Previously, they had only released dates one year at a time.
Here is the link(scroll down to see the new testing dates):

The College Board plans to make 3-4 official tests per year available as pdfs on Khan Academy.
Starting with the May7, 2016 SAT, each year the College Board will make 3-4 official tests freely available as pdfs through Khan academy. These tests will be available as soon as scores are released. The College Board previously made test booklets available to students for the old SAT through their Question-and Answer(QAS) for the October,January, and May tests, but this was an add-on service that students could purchase. How the release of the redesigned tests through Khan Academy will impact QAS is unclear. Stay tuned.
Occasionally, a 20 minute variable(experimental) section will be added to the end of the multiple choice sections.
When the College Board first anounnced the redesigned SAT, they mentionedthat the test would still contain pretest items (experimental questions), but the implementation mechanics were unclear.
At the forum, we learned a bit more. Pretests items will be sefl-contained in a 20-minute variable, or experimental, section at the end of of the scored multiple choice protion of the test. According to the College Board, the variable section will be included only on the "occasional" test date and will be announcedahead of time. Furthermore, only those students not writing the optional essay will be given variable section. Performance on this section will not impact students' scores.
No changes are planned for the Subject Tests.
The Subject Tests have been and continue to be forgotten children of the College Board. Once again, they have announced that there are no upcoming changes to the Subject Tests and no plans for revisions in the near future.
概括来讲：
1、2017年将增加8月考试，2018年取消1月考试。未来三年的考试日期都可以在CB官网查询。需注意：官网显示的是“anticipated”，并不是最终确定的时间，但措辞感觉是板上钉钉，看来8月份替换掉1月份的考试是板上钉钉的事情。
2、每年有3-4套题目免费公布在可汗学院，可能会取代QAS；
3、不参加Essay考试的同学可能会遇到加试，参加Essay考试的同学不会有加试。
最新SAT考试时间安排
据Collegeboard官网介绍，新的调整将从2017年8月开始：2017年1月28日将是最后一次1月进行的SAT考试，2018年1月将不再有SAT考试。也就是说，2017年全年将有8次考试，比正常的7次多了一次。日期分别是：
1、CB官网除了每年三月份SAT科目考试显示为“not available”之外，其他都是“available”。
2、每年有3-4套题目免费公布在可汗学院，可能会取代QAS；
3、不参加Essay考试的同学可能会遇到加试，参加Essay考试的同学不会有加试
调整对SAT考生的影响
每年的五六月份对高二党来说都是十分关键的两次考试，这次又增加了8月份，无疑给同学们成功早申/早录又增加了几成希望。7、8月恰逢暑假，同学们可以充分利用这段时间进行集中突击，培养一些考试技巧、进行语感强化，这样八月份考试时同学们的热知识就得以发挥，考出好成绩不在话下。
一．规划提前：
以前规划经常会把高二上半学期的1月低考试规划为高中生首考，但是时间调整之后，为了使后续学习更有效，那么高二上半学期12月初变为高中生的首考；而且过去8月低很多高二的学生托福最后出分，但是现在8月底有SAT考试，就使的托福规划需要提前至6月出分，这使得考生峣更早准备更早规划。
二．考AP的学生会增多：
1月考试取消之后，12月首考和5月或者6月的下次考试之间相隔时间变长，因此高中生会转学AP用来保持成绩也可以为申请加分，因此可以预测2018年考AP的学生会增多。
三．规划更整齐
过去由于时间的分流，考生的规划时间都不统一，但是调整了时间之后，考生的规划路径更加统一，常规规划时间如下（仅做参考）：
高一下3月或者6月托福首考
高一暑假托福学习，8月托福二考
高二上学习SAT，12月SAT首考
高二寒假学习AP, 5月AP考试
高二下学习SAT，6月SAT二考
高二暑假学习托福＋SAT，8月，10月考SAT。
