SAT重大更新！官网练习题永久下线！

又一个官方改革被我们“不幸”提前预言了。

早在去年11月的SAT考试之后，我们就已经强调过，现在的SAT实际考试题目的考点、难度已经和官方指南中给出的练习题不可同日而语了；官方指南题目的难度全面脱节。明显官方指南，也就是俗称的OG现在看来已经没有参考价值：

详情请看我们公众号11月的SAT考情

官方反应很快啊，这不，近期登录CB官网大家就会看到一项通知：

从2月3日起，小蓝书中的官网练习Practice Test 1-3套将会永久下线，如果还想做这三套题目并且保留分数错题或者官方解析的话，必须在2月3日之前完成。

同时，小蓝书会在2月份释放出4套新的练习：

根据官方的表述，从2025年2月开始，SAT官方给出的练习题（Practice）会有如下变化：

01、旧题删除

目前在Bluebook上提供的6套SAT模拟题中，1~3套将在2025年2月被移除（也就是难度和真题脱节最大的几套），但如果学生在2025年2月3日之前完成这些测试，他们仍将保留这些测试的成绩和反馈。

02、新增模拟题

除了现有的第4至第6套模拟题外，学生还将获得4套新的模拟题，包括全新的第7套模拟题以及第8至第10套模拟题。这些新题将包含全新的题目以及从原有1至3套模拟题中挑选的题目。

03、PDF版本

新的模拟题（第7至第10套）将以PDF形式发布在College Board官网上，而原有的1至3套模拟题将被删除。

按照Practice 5-6的改编格式，大概率这4套题是现有已经考过真题的汇编。

其实这番改革早有端倪：

不止一个同学，做前4套Practice套套1500，实际考试1400了。前4套练习是官方很早之前发布的，早于2022年11月亚洲地区第一次SAT机考测试场。

这些题目，更多是一个“诱饵”，用平平无奇的难度吸引学生考SAT，等到真正考试才放大招。

这四套的难度和实际考试差多少，做个直观的比较更明显，下面是官方指南中的练习题（Practice）也就是这次大概率要删除的一批题目：

In documents called judicial opinions, judges explain the reasoning behind their legal rulings, and in those explanations, they sometimes cite and discuss historical and contemporary philosophers. Legal scholar and philosopher Anita L. Allen argues that while judges are naturally inclined to mention philosophers whose views align with their own positions, the strongest judicial opinions consider and rebut potential objections; discussing philosophers whose views conflict with judges’ views could therefore _______

Which choice most logically completes the text?

A） allow judges to craft judicial opinions without needing to consult philosophical works. B) help judges improve the arguments they put forward in their judicial opinions.

C) make judicial opinions more comprehensible to readers without legal or philosophical training.

D) bring judicial opinions in line with views that are broadly held among philosophers.

而下面的题目是现在考场上同学们遇到的真题：

Adelaide, Australia, has installed engineered structures along 53% of its shoreline to protect infrastructure from wave erosion and other hazards, a practice known as shoreline hardening. To evaluate the responses of waterbirds to two types of hardening structures- riprap and bulkheads-Diann Prosser et al. surveyed waterbird communities consisting of the brown pelican, the red knot, and 62 other species at different sites in the Chesapeake. Bay on the US East Coast. Utilizing the Index of Waterbird Community Integrity (IWCI), on which a high score corresponds to high community integrity, the researchers found that bulkheads are more strongly negatively correlated with waterbird community integrity than is riprap.

Which choice most logically completes the text?

A) The difference in average IWCI scores for waterbird communities at Stony and Old Road, two sites with a higher percentage of shoreline consisting of bulkheads than of riprap, was statistically insignificant.

B) Waterbird communities at Curtis, a site with a high percentage of shoreline consisting of bulkheads and riprap, had lower average IWCI scores than did waterbird communities at Onancock, a site with a low percentage of shoreline consisting of bulkheads and riprap.

C) Waterbird communities at Curtis, a site with equal percentages of shoreline consisting of bulkheads and riprap, had higher average IWCI scores than did waterbird communities at Miles, a site with different percentages of shoreline consisting of bulkheads and riprap.

D) Waterbird communities at Old Road, a site with a relatively high percentage of shoreline consisting of bulkheads, had lower average IWCI scores than did waterbird communities at Miles, a site with a relatively high percentage of shoreline consisting of riprap.

就算大家不懂英文，单纯看两个题目的长度，应该也能感受一二。实际上，实际考场上的真题，对同学们的阅读速度要求，普遍是官方指南中题目要求的2.15倍。简单来说：难度加倍。

我们早就在不同场合，不管上课还是讲座中，强调了Practice只有5-6是准确的。与官方的步调完全一致。
