I never took the SAT, but I did take the GRE. The year I took it, it was 3 sections: Quantitative, Verbal and Writing. The year I took it, the writing section replaced an older Logic section. Quantitative and verbal were scored out of 800 points (like the SAT), but the writing section was scored 0-6 in half-point increments. I think the writing section has also since been removed.

I need the entire paragraph above just to _explain_ my GRE (decent) score because the test has changed yet again in the interim 20 years or so and I suspect the SAT is similar.
