MATH Section

The Math section of the digital SAT is designed to test students on the math topics most important for college and career success. Those topics can be split into the following four categories:

• Algebra: Analyze, fluently solve, and create linear equations and inequalities as well as analyze and fluently solve systems of equations.
• Advanced Math: Demonstrate attainment of skills and knowledge central for successful progression to more advanced math courses, including analyzing, fluently solving, interpreting, and creating a variety of equation types.
• Problem-Solving and Data Analysis: Apply quantitative reasoning about ratios, rates, and proportional relationships; understand and apply units and rates; and analyze and interpret one- and two-variable data.
• Geometry and Trigonometry: Solve problems that focus on perimeter, area, and volume; angles, triangles, and trigonometry; and circles.

Each of these categories is made up of a number of different skills, and all of those skills are covered in Khan Academy’s digital SAT Math course. As you work through the course, you’ll encounter each skill in turn, complete with articles and videos to help you learn, as well as exercises to practice and test your knowledge.

Questions on the SAT Math test come in two formats:

• Multiple choice questions offer four possible choices from which students must select the answer.
• Student-produced response questions require students to produce their own answer, which they enter into the provided field.
