The SAT Math is designed keeping every type of student in mind. It includes syllabus up to the 10th grade and is simple enough that every student can appear for it. The syllabus includes basic level algebra and geometry. You do not have to solve proofs in the geometry section. The questions are very simple and that is what confuses most students who assume that a SAT Math question is bound to be difficult and hence forget to try simple ways to solve the question.

The SAT Math is divided into 2 parts namely problem solving and Grid ins. The problem solving is further divided into 2 parts i.e. the Quantitative comparisons and Regular Math. Both these sections have multiple choice questions and they together total up to 50% of the total score in Math. Use of calculator is allowed in all the Math section which will help you save time. Also try and develop quick solutions or else you will miss out on other questions. All questions are arranged in the ascending order of their difficulty. .

The SAT Math also includes the Grid In section which is quite similar to numeric entry. In this you are required to solve the problem and enter the answer in the grid or blank provided. For sample tests, you can keep rough sheets of paper to solve these problems. However during the actual exam you will be provided with sheets for rough work. .

The total SAT Math section is of 70 minutes with around 54 questions to be solved. Each section is allocated a different time limit. Hence speed is very important and that will come with practice only. So study topics like fractions, inequalities, co-ordinate geometry, defined functions, number theory etc and attempt as many sample tests as possible to secure a good score in the SAT.
