2026年3月的这场SAT考试，作为今年申请季的重要前哨战，其考情不仅关乎当下的成绩，更预示了未来一年的命题趋势。
基于多位学生的第一时间反馈与回忆，机构老师们将针对阅读语法与数学两大板块快速梳理。
整体难度评估：
本次考试的整体难度落在“中等偏上”区间，作为上半年的热门场次，College Board倾向于使用难度系数稳定、逻辑中规中矩的试卷。
当然旧题重复率 不等同于试卷难度。从目前反馈来看，本次考试阅读部分的旧题重复率约在25%—30%之间，也就是说，有相当一部分题目与此前考试中出现过的题目或变体较为接近。
下面我们分模块进行详细回顾与分析。
本次阅读最明显的特点是：
文章篇幅整体较短，但信息密度非常高。
考生需要在有限的文字中迅速抓住关键论点和逻辑关系，否则很容易在细节判断中出现偏差。
1/高频考词汇总：
modesty（谦逊）、haughty（傲慢）、composure（镇定）、ambivalent（矛盾心情）、misgiving（疑虑）。counterfactual（反事实的）、analogical（类比的）、rigor（严谨）、constraint（限制）、retrospective（回顾）。cryptic（晦涩难懂的）、inaccessible（难理解的/不可达的）、novelty（新奇）、obscurity（模糊/无名）。
固定搭配与短语：
本次考试加强了对动词短语与语境结合的考察，如 authenticated by（经...证实）、concentrated among（集中于）、habituated to（习惯于）、contemporary with（与…同时代）。
词汇题难度并不算低。一方面涉及文学语境中的词义辨析，另一方面也包含学术语境中的精准表达判断。
如果学生在平时备考中仅依赖背单词或凭模糊语感做题，在这一部分比较容易出现失分。不过与去年部分考试相比，本次词汇题选项整体可识别度更高，近义词辨析类题目比例有所提升。
值得一提的是，第二模块开头的一道难度较高的词汇题实际上属于旧题重复。
2/本次阅读材料类型依然比较典型，涵盖多个常见题材，例如：科学研究类文本、社会科学研究、哲学观点讨论、历史相关材料，这些题目难点在于题目对理解深度的要求，例如“last mile delivery外卖话题”话题再次出现。
许多题目要求考生准确把握作者的核心意图，梳理论证结构，并判断选项是否与原文结论完全一致；如果只是抓住个别关键词，而没有真正理解论证逻辑，就很容易被干扰选项误导。
尤其是研究类文本以及双文本对比类题型，对学生的逻辑分析能力提出了更高要求。
例如真题考了先点明 Paul Linebarger是科幻作家，但他最重要的作品是 1940 年代美军机密指南，探讨战争时期的宣传作用。
他认为电影极具吸引力，因此美国宣传应和流行电影一样有感染力 —— 在娱乐观众的同时，塑造国家作为盟友的形象。
这部作品塑造了美国独特的国家利益推广方式，这种方式至今仍从流行文化元素中汲取灵感。对应到选项：his most significant work was a 1940s classified US Army guide. He contended that US propaganda should equal popular films in its appeal.Linebarger’s work shaped the distinctive US approach... continues to draw inspiration from elements of pop culture
还有一个双篇难题，考点也是经典的菌丝话题：
Text 1 In separate studies, Lingbo Meng and Xinhua He and colleagues examined whether plants transfer nutrients to one another using a common mycorrhizal network (CMN)—a lattice of fungal strands in the soil. Meding and Zasoski excluded all pathways other than the CMN by using barriers to keep the plants’ root systems separate while allowing mycorrhizal strands through—a crucial step He and colleagues’ study did not take.
Text 2 Meng and colleagues took the necessary precaution of separating the plants’ root systems (thereby excluding root-to-root transmission). However, any barrier used must allow the thread-like hyphae of a CMN to pass through, and this permeability would also allow liquids through. Thus, the researchers’ experimental design cannot ensure that any nutrient transfer observed can be attributed to a CMN and not to some other pathway.
Based on the texts, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the characterization of Meng and colleagues' study in Text 1?
[两篇主要侧重研究方法的讨论，exclude root= exclude ALL pathway vs CMN+liquid? ,正确选择By asserting that the author of Text 1 has overstated the effectiveness of the method that Meng and colleagues used.]
另外本次考试还出现了一个比较明显的特点：阅读部分一开始就出现了两道信息密度较高的图表题。这种安排在以往考试中较为少见，也反映出SAT阅读部分命题方向的一种变化。
近年来，图表题的重要性逐渐提升。这类题目表面上是在读图，但实际上仍然是在考查学生对研究结论和逻辑关系的理解。
如果考生只是机械地读取数字，而没有将图表信息与题干中的研究结论进行结合分析，就很容易落入干扰项的陷阱。因此，在后续备考过程中，建议学生多练习信息量较大的图表题，提高数据理解与逻辑整合能力。
例如：The late Hemphillian (Hh) North American Land Mammal Age includes the subdivisions Hh3, 6.8 million years ago (Ma) to 6 Ma, and Hh4, 6 Ma to 4.75 Ma. While mammalian fossils have indicated that Florida's Montbrook Fossil Site (MFS) and Palmetto Fauna of the Bone Valley Region (PFBV) date to Hh4, a more precise determination of the sites’ ages has proved challenging. Stephanie R. Killingsworth et al. compared average ratios of strontium-87 to strontium-86 (87Sr/86Sr) in fossil shark teeth from MFS and PFBV—0.709000 and 0.709028, respectively—to87Sr/86Sr ratios in the global strontium seawater curve, a record that shows how 87Sr/86Sr ratios in seawater correspond to numerical ages and that is used to date fossils and, by extension, fossil sites. The researchers concluded that ______
逻辑类题目整体延续了近期考试的命题趋势，难度保持稳定，其中command of evidence题目一定要看仔细support/weaken，不要习惯性想着是支持类，例如说这道：
Archaeologist Weiwei Wang and her colleagues analyzed footed grinding slabs and other food-preparation tools excavated from Óc Eo, a Southeast Asian port city that flourished between the first and sixth centuries CE. Wang and colleagues recovered microscopic remnants of turmeric and other spices from the surfaces of the tools. Turmeric is native to South Asia, more than a thousand miles west of Óc Eo, and the researchers showed that the footed grinding slabs at Óc Eo are very similar to footed grinding slabs common throughout South Asia from around 500 BCE to 300 CE. Wang and colleagues' findings therefore indicate that there must have been a trade link, whether direct or indirect, between the two regions. Which finding, if true, would directly [weaken] the conclusion about Wang and her colleagues' findings that is presented in the text?
本次考试的难题：
Across brown bears—omnivores with high dietary plasticity—there is wide variety in dietary mix, which may reflect genetics, local resource availability, or social learning (cubs stay with their mothers for two years or more). Evaluating these possibilities, Anne Hertel et al. analyzed 30 years of data on trophic position (indicative of dietary mix) for female brown bears. After separation, daughters, who tended to settle near their mothers, occupied the same trophic positions as their mothers for two years, but the correlation disappeared by year five. Trophic correlation with unrelated individuals in similar habitats was modest, while habitat-independent correlation with nonmaternal relatives (e.g., cousins) was no different than with unrelated individuals. These findings suggest that ______Which choice most logically completes the text?
原文发现：
女儿和母亲分离后前 2 年饮食结构高度一致（支持社会学习），但第 5 年相关性消失（社会学习影响减弱）；同时排除了基因的主要作用，暗示环境资源可能有影响。
语法部分延续了以往的考察方向，也有不少重复的题目，出题重点清晰：包括动词、所有格、祈使句、句子结构分析&标点、强调句（Do+do)。
逻辑词的选取依然侧重于对文段转折、递进关系等的精准判断。建议的大家基础语法不能掉以轻心，逻辑衔接需建立在深层的语篇理解之上。
重复考察的逻辑词：
1/The Duchy of Amalfi, a sea power based in the Mediterranean port city of Amalfi thatreached the height of its influence around 1000 CE, is classified as a thalassocracy. Thalassocracies are generally considered distinct from tellurocracies, or land-basedpowers. _________ the British Empire (1600s–1900s CE) notably extended its hegemony across both land and sea.
A) Blurring this line,
B) Exemplifying this distinction,
C) Underscoring this difference,
D) Supporting this claim,
前面进行了分类，下句讲了特例，逻辑取反，选A
2/Karel Capek’s 1920 play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots), in which artificial workers overthrow their masters, left an indelible mark on the science fiction genre, and the English language, by introducing the term "robot" (derived from the Czech word robota, meaning “indentured labor" or "drudgery”). ___________ Capek's play also contributed to a venerable literary and mythological tradition: using artificial beings as mirrors and foils for humanity.
A) By achieving such a lofty goal,
B) Beyond the simple coining of a term,
C) Despite its creation of such an iconic trope,
D) Ultimately limited in its lasting influence,
先讲 “创造 robot 一词” 这一表层贡献，再递进说明更深远的文学传统贡献，和后半句的 “also contr
数学部分整体难度保持平稳，除了最后几道压轴题（如四次方程因式分解、复杂百分比应用）略有挑战外，大部分考点仍在常规范围内。
有趣的是，部分考生觉得时间不够用，其根源不在于计算能力，而在于数学题目的“阅读量”增加了。
题干描述变长，增加了背景信息的干扰，导致学生在提取核心数学模型时耗时过多。其实计算本身不难，但由于题干长、陷阱多，一旦心态急躁，极易在单位换算或限制条件上失分。
