We methodically address the skills students must have in order to solve the SAT math problems correctly.

 Each section of our math materials provides rules, instruction, examples, and test questions

over the concepts found on the SAT/PSAT.

 

Our math materials are divided into six separate sections:

 

I.        General Testing Tips

II.        Gridding Answers

III.        Numbers and Operations Review

IV.        Algebra and Functions

V.        Geometry and Measurement

VI.        Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability

 

 

 I.  General Testing Tips   II.  Gridding Answers
     
III.  Numbers and Operations  Review   IV.  Algebra and Functions

1.        Properties of integers        

2.        Arithmetic word problems

3.        Number lines

4.        Squares and square roots

5.        Fractions and rational numbers

6.        Elementary number theory

7.        Ratio, proportion, percent

8.        Sequences

9.        Sets - union, intersection, elements

10.       Counting problems

11.       Logical reasoning

 

  
1.        Substitution and simplification of

             algebraic expressions

2.        Exponents and radicals

3.        Linear equations and inequalities

4.        Quadratic equations

5.        Absolute value

6.        Direct and indirect variation

7.        Functions

8.        Weird symbols

9.        Systems of equations

 

 
V. Geometry and Measurement VI. Data Analysis, Statistics, Probability
1.        Geometric notation

2.        Points and lines

3.        Angles in the plane

4.        Triangles

5.        Quadrilaterals

6.        Areas and perimeters

7.        Other polygons

8.        Circles

9.        Solid geometry

10.       Geometric perception

11.       Coordinate geometry

12.       Transformations

* Additional importance of our Geometry Section lies in the fact that a bright student who has not yet taken geometry can work his way through the problems and explanations and be able to go into the PSAT test prepared. In many schools, geometry is not taught until the junior year, and students taking the PSAT before they have had any formal instruction in geometry find themselves handicapped. Our program helps circumvent this situation.

    

1.        Data interpretation

2.        Statistics

3.        Elementary probability

4.        Geometric probability
