When did the change happen in the SAT Scoring System?

The change occurred in SAT scoring system in January of 2016. The NEW SAT test comprises an optional essay. 

In the new version of the SAT, the 3 reading sections with a total of 67 questions have been combined into 1 section with 52 questions. The math sections have also been merged. 

In the old SAT test, there were 3 math sections, now there are two. In one section you can use a calculator and in one section you cannot use a calculator.

* For lower score points, there is not enough data to produce a valid concordance between the new SAT and ACT.
