On an sat math 2 review book (I believe ARCO was the name) it included a logic section on truth tables, contrapositives, equivalence… I have been using princeton and barrons and I have also checked the college board site, none of these sources every mentioned this topic, is it safe to assume that this “logic” section from arco won’t be tested on the real test?
I have never heard of truth tables being on the exam, neither do I remember them being on the exam when I took it. The exam covers through precalc. Those topics aren’t introduced until much higher level math.
EDIT: I’ve looked through some of the sources and you might need to be able to follow some logical statements made in plain english. This “simplistic” logic is something that is covered in geometry, at least it was in my geometry class". But definitely no truth tables or knowledge of contrapositives needed, or the concepts of p and q, etc.
I think Math II might test some basic logic, e.g. the equivalence of a statement and its contrapositive (p -> q iff ~q -> ~p), but you won’t need to construct truth tables. It might word it something like, “If everyone in the room was born in February, then which statement must be true?” in which the answer would be its contrapositive.
i took like 8 practice test. Didn’t see any.
I agree with @MITer94. When I took the test, there was only one question that had any logic in it, and it was a really easy kind of logic problem, like “If all B is A, and some C is B, which of the following is true?” They won’t test you on the theoretical, memorizing definitions path, but rather how to apply that logic.
