SAT Test Structure

The problem solving multiple choice questions will comprise 58% of the total math questions you will see on the SAT*. They will appear in ascending order of difficulty.

 

Review your math skills as necessary

The SAT problem solving questions are equally split among arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. If you have not taken calculus, or statistics, don't worry. These questions are not asked on the SAT1. See our books section for suggestions if you feel the need to review the math concepts covered in the problem solving section.

A note about the reference data

You may know by now that the SAT test writers will give you some of the common formulas in the test book such as the area of a triangle, Pythagorean relationship, etc. Do NOT place too much emphasis on these reference formulas. If your math skills are rusty, you will still want to do a review on your own before the exam. There are many other helpful hints you should know such as an odd number multiplied by another odd number always equals an odd number, etc.
