Math Section Tips:

Master the Basics: Ensure a solid understanding of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry fundamentals.

Topics include linear equations, systems of equations, functions, ratios, percentages, and complex numbers.

Learn Formulas: Memorize key formulas, such as the quadratic formula, distance formula, and area/volume formulas for geometric shapes. The SAT provides some formulas at the beginning of the Math section, but knowing them by heart can save you time. Other formulas related to interest and budgets are important to know

Practice Problem-Solving: Work on various types of math problems, including word problems and multi-step equations. Focus on problem-solving strategies such as the process of elimination and logical reasoning.

Use Practice Tests: Full-length practice tests simulate the actual test environment and help build endurance.

Use official SAT practice tests for the most accurate representation of the exam.

Focus on Time Management: Practice pacing yourself to ensure you can complete all questions in the given time.

Learn to quickly identify and skip questions that are too time-consuming, then return to them if time allows. This is what trips up people the most for the math section.
