SAT Math: Algebra vs Advanced Math — Where to Focus
The SAT Math section is split between algebra-focused and advanced math questions. Knowing where to focus your study time is key.
Algebra and Linear Functions
These make up the majority of easier and medium questions. Master linear equations, systems of equations, and inequalities first.
Advanced Math
Quadratics, polynomials, exponentials, and rational expressions appear in harder questions. These differentiate high scorers from the rest.
Data Analysis
Statistics, probability, and data interpretation round out the section. These are often the most straightforward if you understand the basics.
