Bloomberg Businessweek - By now, most students are aware of the changes coming to the 2016 SAT; however, students graduating in 2014, 2015 and 2016 will not be affected. This change will bring about options for those taking the test in 2016 and beyond. Going forward, students will have more options than before: to take the SAT before 2016 to avoid the changes, to take both versions of the SAT and choose the better score to submit, or take both the SAT and the ACT.
