SAT Math

The SAT contains three scored Math sections. One Math section lasts 20 minutes, and the other two Math sections last 25 minutes each.

The Math sections contain two question types:

• Multiple choice questions are regular math problems with five answer choices.
• For Grid-ins, you must supply the answer by "gridding in" your response on the answer sheet.

Both Multiple Choice questions and Grid-ins test a limited range of basic mathematical concepts:

• Numbers and operations, including arithmetic, number properties, fractions, averages, ratios, and rates.
  
  
• High school algebra, including rules of exponents, polynomial expressions, and the quadratic equation.
  
  
• High school geometry, including lines, triangles, polygons, circles, spheres, cylinders, cubes, etc.
  
  
• Data analysis
  
  
• Probability and statistics

Mastering the SAT Math section requires practice. Many test takers who are great at math score poorly on the SAT, not because they're not good at math, but because they don't know how to apply their math knowledge to the types of questions that appear on the test.

Your inlingua SAT instructor will make sure not only that your basic math skills are solid, but more importantly, that you know how to apply those skills to SAT Math questions.
