2. Introduction
■ NewYork University undergraduate student AlecWasser
performed well on his SAT before entering college. In addition
to achieving a 2150 overall score,AlecWasser achieved a
perfect score on the test's math segment.
The math section of the SAT includes a 25 minute no-calculator
section and a 55-minute calculator portion. Both of these
segments start with multiple-choice questions, with each
question offering four answers, before moving on to a smaller
number of questions with student-produced responses, called
grid-ins.

3. SAT Math
■ The no-calculator portion includes 15 multiple-choice questions
and 5 grid-ins, while the calculator segment contains 30
multiple-choice questions and 8 grid-ins.
Most questions on the SAT focus on algebra, data
interpretation, and equation solving.While other topics, such
as geometry and trigonometry, are also covered, they make up
only 10 percent of the test, as not all students will have
encountered these topics in school before taking the exam.The
test provides many geometry formulas and constants to assist
test takers, but trigonometry may require test-specific
preparation if a student has not yet taken a trigonometry
course.
