Algebra
Build reliability with linear equations, systems, inequalities, rearranging expressions and translating word problems into equations. Strong algebra reduces the time cost of almost every other SAT Maths domain.
SAT MATHS TOPICS
Organise SAT Maths revision around the structures that repeatedly appear in the test, then mix them so method selection becomes automatic under time pressure.

Functions, quadratics, polynomials and exponential models require both symbolic fluency and graphical interpretation. Practise switching between equations, tables and graphs rather than learning each representation separately.
Ratios, percentages, proportional reasoning, statistics and data interpretation are often testing modelling choices as much as arithmetic. State what each number represents before calculating.
Revise area, volume, angles, coordinate geometry, circles and right-triangle trigonometry. Many errors come from using the correct formula on the wrong quantity, so diagrams and units matter.
