Since when is it called the "critical reading" portion?

When I took the SATs back in the mid-80s it was math and verbal.

Me, too.

A few years back, they eliminated the analogy section because expecting students to know what a lot of words mean was racist or something. I like to get old study guides at the used book store for my kids to use just for vocabulary development. Having to explain the relationships between words - “Write” is a way of making a mark on “paper.” “Paint” is a way of making a mark on “canvas.” - is a great mental exercise.
