I noticed that this video is pretty old, do these examples still apply?

[TestingIsEasy]

@poisonpushpop thanks for asking that very good question! the ideas in these videos *do* still apply, because the standardized nature of the SAT means that it hasn't changed in any important way since the current version was introduced in 2005. it's very important to understand that the design of the test can't change--that's what makes it a 'standardized' test and makes the results valid for colleges. here's an article: (three w's) (dot)testingiseasy(dot)com/tes­­ts-dont-change-every-year/

@doowder101 The SSAT essay isn't graded, so it's a different situation, really. The people at the schools you apply to can use your SSAT essay any way they see fit (or they can ignore it completely), so there's no set of universal standards we can try to follow in writing the SSAT essay.
