The New SAT Math
The New SAT Math
There are four major changes that make the new SAT Math new. Three of those changes are good news: There are fewer math questions on the test, the entire math section is five minutes shorter, and those pesky Quantitative Comparisons have been eliminated. But the last change probably won’t light a smile on your face: SAT Math now covers some topics in Algebra II. What does this all add up to (pardon the pathetic pun)? The math covered by the new SAT is more difficult. Yeah, it sucks.
But the truth is that the new Math isn’t really all that much harder, and it’ll still be stuff you’ve probably already seen in your high school math classes. Whether you’ve seen it before or not, we’ve got it covered in this book:
  • Numbers and Operations
  • Algebra (I and II)
  • Geometry
  • Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability
Questions on these four major math topics are spread across three timed sections.
  • One 25-minute section
  • A second 25-minute section
  • A final 20-minute section
In each section, questions are ordered by difficulty. The first third of the questions are generally easy, the second third are a little harder, and the last third are difficult. Them’s the facts. There’s nothing else to know about the SAT Math—unless you need directions to Tibet.
