I think your class has to take the new one which is supposed to be a lot harder. Good luck.

Yeah, you'll take the new one. In reality, nothing will really change, it's actually better for you. Rather than being forced to take the SAT I and SAT II in Writing, they'll all be together. Save you the time and test dates for other things.
