Hey guys! I'm focusing on my SAT prep at the moment and would love to know if there's a formula sheet for the Math section. Has anyone come across one or made one? It could really help streamline my revision. Thanks in advance!
While the SAT doesn't provide a formula sheet per se, certain essential formulas and concepts are provided on the test itself. This includes the area and circumference of a circle, the area and volume of a square, rectangle, or sphere, the Pythagorean theorem, special right triangles, and the trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, and tangent).
However, it's important to note that not all the formulas you'll need to answer questions correctly are provided. For instance, you'll need to remember the quadratic formula, slope-intercept form for a line equation, the rules of exponents, and how to find the mean and median by heart.
That being said, creating your own personal formula sheet may be a useful step in your test prep. By organizing all the necessary formulas you need to know in one place, it would enable you to review them regularly. Start with the formulas not given on the exam and then move on to those that are provided. The act of writing them down may even help commit them to memory. Good luck with your SAT preparation!
