SAT and ACT Question Counts Significantly Reduced, Increasing Test Volatility

Brian Eufinger explains that recent digital revisions to the SAT reduced questions from 154 to 90, while the ACT reduced questions from 215 to 108. Because fewer questions are asked on each test, score volatility has increased, making careful preparation and multiple test sittings more important.
