SAT Math Preparation

I have helped students succeed on the SAT since the 1990s. I know the structure of the math test well and focus on:

• Teaching students what content they need to know
• Reviewing forgotten algebra and geometry
• Helping them spot traps and use time wisely
• Giving them plenty of practice with feedback

The SAT Math Section

The math section is composed of two parts:

• No calculator: 25 minutes, 20 questions
• Calculator allowed: 55 minutes, 38 questions

The questions are a mix of multiple choice and “grid-ins”, where students write their answer in boxes. Scoring is based on correct answers only — no penalty for guessing.

Content Areas

The SAT Math section focuses on:

• Heart of Algebra (linear equations, systems)
• Problem Solving & Data Analysis (percent, ratio, charts)
• Passport to Advanced Math (quadratics, functions)
• Additional Topics (geometry, complex numbers, trigonometry)
