　　新SAT文法的目的：

 

　　考察学生编辑和修改不同类型的文章的能力。既要让所修改的文章避免各种语法错误、标点错误、和用法错误，也要使其能够按照写作目的和读者受众的不同，更加准确的表辞达意。

　　为了综合检验学生的编辑修改能力，考试时所采用的文章的体裁、主题与复杂程度都有所不同。某些文章还配有统计图表，需要学生具有一定的图表解说能力。具体情况如下：

　　文章的体裁：记叙文、说明文、议论文。

　　文章的主题：包罗万有，例如：事业、人文社科、历史、科技，等等。

　　文章的复杂程度：有直截了当的，也有含蓄表达的，更有充斥长难句的。

　　文章的说明性图表：与原文内容互相补充，学生需要解读图表来纠正文章错误。

 

　　新SAT文法的主要考察形式：

 

　　试题的格式如下图所示：左边是需要编辑修改的文章，右边是相应的题目。因为左右需要完美对应，所以一篇文章会出现在多页纸上。考生需要看清楚文章标题上面所列出的与该文章相关的题目个数。(例如：本文的标题是A Life in Traffic, 与之相关的题目是第1题到第11题)。划线部分是出题处。

　　题目的类型都是单选题，A、B、C、D四项之中选择一个答案。表面上看，题目的内容五花八门，但是实质上只考察学生的两种能力：语法能力(Standard English Conventions)和表达能力(Expression of Ideas)。从形式上看，题目分为两类。一类题目是下图中第二题这种题目：A选项是NO CHANGE, 其他三个选项是修改划线处的三种不同建议。另一类题目是下图种题这种题目：首先给出了一个要求，然后让学生按照要求为文中划线处选择一个答案。
