<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>
