Sat “verbal” is dead. Kaput. Gone the way of the Dodo and the Sega Dreamcast. Or so the SAT wants you to believe. Actually, it’s more accurate to say that most of the former SAT Verbal section is just wearing a fake mustache and traveling under an assumed name: “Critical Reading.” The new Critical Reading section has all the familiar sentence completion and long reading questions as the section formerly known as “SAT Verbal,” but now analogies have been cut, and new short reading questions have been added.
