Hey everyone! I'm starting to prep for the SAT, and I was wondering if there's a really good SAT formula sheet I should use to get familiar with the math formulas that might show up on the test?
Hey! Great to hear that you're preparing for the SAT. Having a formula sheet can be quite helpful in familiarizing yourself with essential math formulas that frequently appear on the test. While there isn't a single "best" formula sheet, I can recommend creating your own personalized sheet based on your needs. This way, you can focus on the areas where you need the most improvement.
Here's a general outline of what to include in your formula sheet:
1. Basic Arithmetic: Percentages, ratios, fractions and decimals.
2. Algebra: Linear equations, quadratic equations, polynomials, exponents, and radicals.
3. Geometry: Circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, Pythagorean theorem, similarity, trigonometric functions, and area/volume formulas.
4. Statistics and Probability: Mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, probability, and combinations/permutations.
While creating your custom formula sheet, keep in mind that the SAT provides some essential formulas in the test booklet itself. It's still crucial to understand when and how to apply them.
Additionally, consider supplementing your formula sheet study with practice problems. The more you practice, the better you'll be at recognizing when to apply a specific formula.
Best of luck with your SAT preparation!
