Tips for SAT Math Exam

 

 

To prepare for the SAT math exam, you will need to learn a variety of mathematical concepts, including:

  • Arithmetic
  • Algebra
  • Geometry
  • Trigonometry
  • Probability and statistics
  1. Arithmetic: This section of the SAT math exam covers basic operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. You will need to be proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as be able to work with fractions and decimals. This may include converting between fractions, decimals, and percents, and understanding the order of operations (PEMDAS).
  2. Algebra: This section covers solving equations and inequalities, graphing linear equations, and understanding basic concepts such as slope and y-intercept. You will need to know how to solve one- and two-variable equations, and be able to manipulate and solve inequalities. This section also covers the concepts of functions and their graphs, including understanding the meanings of domain, range, and intercepts.
  3. Geometry: This section covers properties of geometric figures, measurements, and basic geometric concepts such as points, lines, angles, and planes. You will need to know how to calculate measurements such as perimeter, area, volume, and surface area. It also covers geometric figures such as circles, triangles, and quadrilaterals, and the properties of parallel and perpendicular lines.
  4. Trigonometry: This section covers trigonometric ratios, functions, and identities. You will need to know the definitions and properties of sine, cosine, and tangent, and be able to use these functions to solve problems involving right triangles. You will also need to know how to use trigonometric identities to simplify expressions and solve equations.
  5. Probability and Statistics: This section covers basic concepts of probability and statistics, including understanding mean, median, mode, and range. You will also need to know how to calculate and interpret measures of central tendency and variability, as well as probability and probability distributions. 
It's important to practice with sample questions and take practice tests to become familiar with the format of the exam and understand the test-taking strategies and time management skills to maximize your score.
