The second passage specific references evolution, whereas the third alludes to the Christian view of suffering as an absence of good (i.e. original sin). The passages (except the nonfiction one) are notably more complex than those typical in the SAT, whereas the questions require less inference (again with the nonfiction passage being the exception)
 I found the analogies to be an interesting addition, although I couldn't make sense of questions 19 and 29.

The grammar seems surprisingly comparable to that of the SAT and ACT (no sentence diagramming or any explicit grammar knowledge is needed). There are questions that require the taker to know vocabulary, as opposed to being able to infer definitions from context.

The math seems fine, and it seems to have more challenging trigonometry than the other two tests.

Lastly, a student's score is just the number of questions they got right. I don't like this, as the difficulty of the exam is impossible to keep constant from year to year, which means a 110 this year might not be as easy or as difficult to achieve as a 110 next year. It's also a lot less "fault-tolerant" than the other two tests, as you can usually get at least one question wrong per section and still get top SAT and ACT scores.[/quote]
