my point is, the one i stated is a very helpful strategy, to me at least. i know when to use it, it just comes naturally lol.. graphing sucks, u hav to wait for the graph to show,type in equation, and press numerous buttons, time-consuming. no good

anyway my point is u can apply that to any of the 'solve for x' questions.
reading the question correctly, knowing what the problem wants, it works with 100% accuracy for me.
let me give u an example of simple SAT math problems, that require u to use those gay ways to solve.

i remember the ester problem, that 2 way equal distance,diff rates and time.
lets say x/30+x/45=1
i believe that was the right numbers. dist/spd + dist/spd=1 hr
OK, when i see this type of problem, i go straight to my TI, i move everything to the right
x/30+x/45=1 -> 0=1-x/45-x/30, then u solve for x; like i said, this type of problem only takes about 10 seconds to find the right answer, idk if its gona work for u guys. but i developed it personally, so im very adept at it=p
same thing works for other things do some cross multiplying(many variables,but same variable.)
move everything to 1 side, equal 0, solve.

SAT math only covers through algebra II for the most part. There aren't any trig questions on the SAT

unless what Alipes07 is implying is that the trig is SAT 2 material. No its not Sat reasoning test, its in SAT math 2 i believe.
i've seen thousands of math questions, i've never seen trig in SAT 1.
so dont argue. case closed.
