There's a particular kind of panic that hits when you flip to a geometry problem on the SAT and realize you haven't thought about arc length since sophomore year. Circles, triangles, coordinate geometry, complex numbers, trig ratios — this is the section of the test that feels

Somewhere around the halfway mark of an SAT math module, the problems stop looking like math class and start looking like a reading comprehension test with numbers attached. You'll see a table showing survey results from 450 students. A graph of quarterly sales figures. A paragraph describing a

If you could only study one thing for SAT Math, it should be algebra. Not geometry, not trigonometry, not advanced data analysis -- algebra. Specifically, linear equations and quadratics. According to College Board's own content domain specifications, the "Algebra" and "Advanced Math" domains together
