SAT Math Section Format

Subjects covered by the SAT Math section--arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and advanced algebra. These subjects will be tested in the form of multiple choice and grid-in questions.

SAT Math Multiple Choice

There will be three SAT Math sections where two sections are entirely multiple choice questions, and the other section is part multiple choice and part grid-in. Multiple choice questions can be in any of the previously mentioned subjects. Geometry questions are often preceded by a figure that you'll have to refer to.

SAT Math Grid-in

Grid-in questions are about the same as multiple choice questions, except you will not be given any answer choices. Instead, you will have to fill in an answer yourself in the special grid-in area on your answer sheet.
