Re: sat general test
The SAT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States. It evaluates the mathematical, writing and reading ability of a candidate. It is designed for high-school students looking for a college education, and the exam is meant to test the candidate’s ability to solve/analyze problems. Each section is marked in the range of 200-800 points, and the final score ranges from 400-1600. Moreover, the written essay is scored on a scale of 0-24 and varies incrementally. SAT Syllabus Reading The reading section has questions related to reading passages, and each passage consists of 10-11 questions. There are 5 of them in total and the lengths of the passages vary. Writing Writing section has 4 passages, with each passage associated with 10-11 questions. It is expected to spot errors, rephrase marked/highlighted sentences with better alternatives etc. Main focal point revolves around the usage and understanding of grammar. Mathematics It is 80 minutes long and has 58 questions. It has a couple of basic sub-sections: a 25-minute section (no calculator) and a 55-minute section (calculator allowed). Math questions involve knowledge of subject areas such as arithmetic, geometry, algebra, statistics and probability. It also involves data interpretation from tables/graphs and problem-solving. List of topics for Mathematics: • Solving linear equations and linear inequalities • Interpreting linear functions • Linear inequality and equation word problems • Graphing linear equations • Linear function word problems • Systems of linear inequalities word problems • Solving systems of linear equations • Solving quadratic equations • Interpreting nonlinear expressions • Quadratic and exponential word problems • Radicals and rational exponents • Operations with rational expressions and polynomials • Polynomial factors and graphs • Nonlinear equation graphs • Linear and quadratic systems • Structure in expressions • Isolating quantities • Functions • Ratios, rates, and proportions • Percents • Units • Table data • Scatterplots • Key features of graphs • Linear and exponential growth • Data inferences • Center, spread, and shape of distributions • Data collection and conclusions • Volume word problems • Right Triangle word problems • Congruence and similarity • Right triangle geometry • Angles, arc lengths, and trig functions • Circle: Equations and theorems • Complex numbers Essay (Optional) The time allotted for it is 50 minutes, and it is meant to assess understanding of the given data/case and the quality of writing. 650-700 is the expected length of the essay, and the candidate should take a stance on the issue at hand. |
