<p>i know the poster muraski always says that there are a few concepts to nail in order to ace the math sections...i really need some help with that...what are these concepts?
any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Number and Operation</p>
<pre><code>* Arithmetic word problems (including percent, ratio, and proportion)
* Properties of integers (even, odd, prime numbers, divisibility, etc.)
* Rational numbers
* Logical reasoning
* Sets (union, intersection, elements)
* Counting techniques
* Sequences and series (including exponential growth)
* Elementary number theory
</code></pre>
<p>Algebra and Functions</p>
<pre><code>* Substitution and simplifying algebraic expressions
* Properties of exponents
* Algebraic word problems
* Solutions of linear equations and inequalities
* Systems of equations and inequalities
* Quadratic equations
* Rational and radical equations
* Equations of lines
* Absolute value
* Direct and inverse variation
* Concepts of algebraic functions
* Newly defined symbols based on commonly used operations
</code></pre>
<p>Geometry and Measurement</p>
<pre><code>* Area and perimeter of a polygon
* Area and circumference of a circle
* Volume of a box, cube, and cylinder
* Pythagorean Theorem and special properties of isosceles, equilateral, and right triangles
* Properties of parallel and perpendicular lines
* Coordinate geometry
* Geometric visualization
* Slope
* Similarity
* Transformations
</code></pre>
<p>Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability</p>
<pre><code>* Data interpretation
* Statistics (mean, median, and mode)
* Probability
</code></pre>
<p>Is the math section primarily Alegebra I or also advanced algebra?</p>
<p>it's pretty much a combination of both. </p>
<p>For example, If 2x+7=3x+2 what is x+2?</p>
<p>You can expect those to be the first question to almost any SAT test. Then there are more complex that require advanced algebra skills.</p>
<p>Algebra II to Algebra III, math analysis if that's what it's called.</p>
<p>Algebra III? my school doesn't offer that :X</p>
<p>basically, have basic arithmethic down, along with basic algebra (3x + 5 = 29, solve for x), basic geometry (know circles, some tangents for harder questions, etc.), and have a very basic idea of algebra II (mostly the stuff you just review from algebra I anyways)</p>
<p>Uh, the math portion WILL ask for Algebra beyond Algebra I, I'd say 80% of it is Advanced Algebra (II). The rest are annoying geometry problems, and "which integers...blah blah" pesky problems as well.</p>
<p>80% of the math test is Algebra II?....... i HIGHLY doubt that gumball. maybe 10% is algebra II (the more difficult portion anyways)</p>
<p>idk, maybe they changed it since last october.</p>
<p>I've taken the Barron's SAT math tests, and I find that most of the problems (if not all) are Algebra II.</p>
