What is included in Mathematics Section ? |
| Ans |
The SAT
includes mathematics topics from up through a third-year
college preparatory course, such as exponential growth,
absolute value, and functional notation. It also places
emphasis on such topics as linear functions, manipulations
with exponents, and properties of tangent lines. Important
skills such as estimation and number sense are measured
through the multiple-choice and student response (grid-in)
questions (formerly measured in the quantitative comparison
format).
Can I use a calculator?
Yes. Students can use a four-function, scientific, or
graphing calculator. The College Board recommends that
students use at least a scientific calculator for the SAT,
although it's still possible to solve every question without
a calculator.
The math section has two types of questions:

Student-Produced Response Questions
