SAT Math Study Guide
Introduction
Many of the questions on the Math sections of theSAT are genuine brain teasers that require sophisti-cated problem-solving skills. To succeed, you mustcombine your knowledge of number operations,algebra, geometry, data analysis, statistics, and prob-ability – with a good measure of “outside the box”thinking that you won’t learn in math class.
Luckily, this unique program can help you excel! Yourinstructor’s warm, conversational delivery and keeninsight will help you make sense of even the most
convoluted problems. You’ll learn to answer all typesof SAT Math questions – from multiple-choice togrid-ins – quickly, easily, and accurately. After view-ing this program, you’ll be able to make the most ofyour time and earn every point you can.
For easier studying and maximum success, we recom-mend that you view the program over a number ofshort sessions: don’t try to absorb too much at onetime. Review the entire program, or specific sections,as many times as you find necessary in order to mas-ter the material.
Perhaps most importantly: don’t forget to take ad-vantage of your “pause” button while viewing theprogram. This will allow you to try the problems inthis study guide before you view the solutions on thescreen. Keep plenty of scrap paper handy so you can jot down ideas, work through concepts, and more.And finally, be sure to use the myriad on-screengraphics to take notes for yourself – when you’redone, you’ll have a notebook you can refer back toagain and again.
