What's covered on the SAT Math?

I'm a high school junior prepping for the SAT. Can someone provide a solid rundown on what topics and skills are covered in the SAT Math section? I'd like to know what I should focus on while studying. Thanks!

The SAT Math section covers a wide range of mathematical concepts, primarily focusing on four main content areas: Heart of Algebra, Passport to Advanced Math, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, as well as some Additional Topics. Here's a breakdown of these areas:

1. Heart of Algebra:

- Linear equations and inequalities (solving, interpreting, and graphing)

- Systems of linear equations and inequalities (solving, interpreting, and graphing)

- Linear models in context (interpreting slope and intercepts, solving word problems)

2. Passport to Advanced Math:

- Quadratic and exponential equations (solving, graphing, and interpreting)

- Simplifying expressions (polynomials, rational expressions, and radicals)

- Solving exponential and logarithmic equations

- Rewriting expressions and equations in different equivalent forms

3. Problem Solving and Data Analysis:

- Ratios, proportions, and percentages

- Descriptive statistics and data interpretation (mean, median, mode, range, etc.)

- Probability and statistics (conditional probability, dependent and independent events)

- Scatterplots, line of best fit, and basic linear regression

4. Additional Topics:

- Geometry (circles, triangles, angles, parallel lines, etc.)

- Trigonometry (sin, cos, tan, and their inverses, trigonometric identities, right triangle trig)

- Complex numbers (basic arithmetic with imaginary numbers and conjugates)

- Some questions related to volume and surface area of 3D shapes

As you study for the SAT Math section, focus on understanding and mastering these topics. Be sure to practice problems targeting specific skills within each content area. Familiarize yourself with the types of questions that may be asked, and work on improving your test-taking strategies, such as time management and efficient problem-solving. There are several online resources and official SAT prep materials available for practice, including the Bluebook™ app, which allows you to take full-length practice tests and get acquainted with the digital format of the SAT.

Good luck with your SAT prep!
