#1
Advanced Math
Score: 10/11 (91%)
Weekly Goal:
1 session × 15 min — challenge problems to maintain mastery
Key Tips:
- • Factor before using the quadratic formula — factoring is faster when possible.
- • Memorize difference of squares and difference/sum of cubes patterns.
- • For exponential equations, rewrite both sides with the same base.
- • Always check radical equation solutions by substituting back in.

#2
Algebra
Score: 11/11 (100%)
Weekly Goal:
1 session × 15 min — light review to stay sharp
Key Tips:
- • Always isolate the variable step-by-step — show every line of work.
- • For systems, try elimination first; substitution for one-variable systems.
- • Memorize slope-intercept form and point-slope form cold.
- • When graphing inequalities, test a point to confirm the shaded region.

#3
Problem-Solving & Data Analysis
Score: 11/11 (100%)
Weekly Goal:
1 session × 15 min — quick review of probability rules
Key Tips:
- • For percent change, always divide by the ORIGINAL value, not the new one.
- • Sort data before finding median — never skip this step.
- • Use the complement rule for probability: P(not A) = 1 − P(A).
- • Read scatter plot axes carefully — units matter for predictions.

Geometry & Trigonometry
Score: 11/11 (100%)
Weekly Goal:
1 session × 15 min — coordinate geometry review
Key Tips:
- • Memorize the 3-4-5, 5-12-13, and 8-15-17 Pythagorean triples.
- • For 30-60-90 triangles: sides are x, x√3, 2x. For 45-45-90: x, x, x√2.
- • SOH-CAH-TOA: write it out before every trig problem.
- • Complete the square to find circle center and radius from general form.

Test-Day Tips
General SAT Math Strategies
Pace Yourself
Spend ~1.5 min per question. If stuck after 90 seconds, skip and return.
Use Your Calculator Wisely
Estimate first — if your answer is wildly off, recheck your setup.
Read Every Word
Words like "integer," "positive," and "at least" change the answer entirely.
Plug In Numbers
For abstract algebra, substitute simple numbers (1, 2, 0) to test choices.
Eliminate Wrong Answers
Cross out clearly wrong choices first to improve your odds.
Check Units & Labels
Data questions often hide answers in axis labels or table headers.
