The Math component of the SAT has two parts: Math Test-Calculator and Math Test-No calculator. Math Test-Calculator has 38 questions to be answered within 55 minutes and Math Test-No Calculator has 20 questions to be answered within 25 minutes.
The calculator part of the test involves complex calculations that necessitate the use of a calculator, but if you are comfortable you can choose not to use one.
The Math test focuses on three core areas:
SAT provides you with a cheat sheet of important formulae. Although most questions in the Math section are multiple-choice, 22 per cent are grid-in questions wherein a student has to solve the problem, write the correct answer in the box provided and circle the corresponding bubble in the OMR sheet provided.
The Math section is scored on a scale of 200-800.
