Do we get formulas on the SAT

Hey guys, I was just wondering if we get provided with any formulas during the SAT exam, or do we have to memorize them all? A bit stressed about that haha! Thanks!

Hey there! No need to stress too much about formulas on the SAT. There is a reference sheet provided at the beginning of the math section, which includes some relevant formulas and rules. This reference sheet typically covers areas like geometry (e.g., area and volume formulas) and some basic statistics formulas, such as mean, median, and mode.

That being said, it's still important to be familiar with some of the most common math formulas and rules not included on the reference sheet, as well as how to apply them in the context of SAT questions. For example, knowing the quadratic formula, the Pythagorean theorem, and rules for exponents and radicals will definitely come in handy during the test.

So, while you don't have to memorize every little detail, focus on key formulas and rules, and make sure you practice applying them to actual SAT-style questions. This way, you'll feel more prepared and confident on test day. Good luck with your preparation, and don't forget to breathe and stay calm during the exam!
