<p>I was wondering what level math does SAT correspond with.
Also, what are the math skills that I need to know and study for. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>If you’re in at least Algebra II, you know all the math you need for the SAT. (Well, you know, in theory, at least.) It includes arithmetic, algebra and geometry; there’s no trigonometry or beyond.</p>
<p>SAT math includes everything up to algebra II (meaning: probability, functions, geometry)</p>
<p>Trig is not on the SAT (rather it is on the ACT), but it can help you. I’ve used a few SOHCAHTOAs on some problems.</p>
<p>^Speaking of trig, I also used tan θ = m on one problem :). </p>
<p>θ = angle
m = slope</p>
<p>I have also used the law of sines more than once :D. </p>
<p>Back to the point, some miscellaneous concepts may not be covered in your regular math classes. </p>
<p>Counting problems, for example, were not covered in any of my math classes (despite going to a prestigious HS). Make sure to familiarize yourself with those misc. concepts.</p>
<p>The law of sines doesn’t get enough love. (Has anyone ever said that before? C’mon – you know you were thinking it.) Among other uses, you can use it to solve special right triangles if you have trouble doing them the traditional way. You can also use it where many people use sohcahtoa. (Of course, rhere are always other, non-trig ways to solve SAT problems as well.)</p>
<p>Im from canada so the math levels might be different. but I kind of get a basic idea from this. Im just a little worried because some of the concepts on the SATs, I have not learned yet. </p>
<p>any suggestions for good books with nice explantions I can look into?</p>
<p>Buy the Collegeboard’s big, blue book. Subscribe to their online course. The money is worth it.</p>
