13．The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities．The other test is called the ACT．More than 2million students take the SAT yearly，including about 100，000foreign students．The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016．The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words．But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights．
The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage．Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages．Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University．She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students．The new test will be easier because of the reform（改革）．
Eddie West is with the College Board．He says the new test will better predict a student's performance in college．The changes are moving the test in a positive direction．The new SAT pays more attention to skills and abilities that students need to succeed．The addition of material about American historical documents could make the test harder for international students．After all，they live in different countries with different cultures．But it's a good chance for them to understand the Declaration of Independence （《独立宣言》） or Martin Luther King's work，or anything else that might be tested．
Students from other countries，particularly those who did not grow up learning English，may feel it is more difficult．For them，the test is in a foreign language．But the College Board says it has formed a free，online educational service．Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT．
