Don’t just read this book—write on it, study it, scrutinize it! In short, for the next four weeks, this book should be a part of your life. When you have finished the book, it should be marked-up, dog-eared, tattered and torn.  \nAlthough the SAT is a difficult test, it is a very learnable test. This is not to say that the SAT is“beatable.” There is no bag of tricks that will show you how to master it overnight. You probably have already realized this. Some books, nevertheless, offer \"inside stuff\" or \"tricks\" which they claim will enable you to beat the test. These include declaring that answer-choices B, C, or D are more likely to be correct than choices A or E. This tactic, like most of its type, does not work. It is offered to give the student the feeling that he or she is getting the scoop on the test.  \nThe SAT cannot be “beaten.” But it can be mastered—through hard work, analytical thought, and by training yourself to think like a test writer. Many of the exercises in this book are designed to prompt you to think like a test writer. For example, you will find “Duals.” These are pairs of similar problems in which only one property is different. They illustrate the process of creating SAT questions.  \nThe SAT math sections are not easy—nor is this book. To improve your SAT math score, you must be willing to work; if you study hard and master the techniques in this book, your score will improve—significantly.  \nThis book will introduce you to numerous analytic techniques that will help you immensely, not only on the SAT but in college as well. For this reason, studying forthe SAT can be a rewarding and satisfying experience.  \nTo insure that you perform at your expected level on the actual SAT, you need to develop a level of mathematical skill that is greater than what is tested on the SAT. Hence, about 10% of the math problems in this book (labeled \"Very Hard\") are harder than actual SAT math problems.  \nAlthough the quick-fix method is not offered in this book, about 15% of the material is dedicated to studying how the questions are constructed. Knowing how the problems are written and how the test writers think will give you useful insight into the problems and make them less mysterious. Moreover, familiarity with the SAT’s structure will help reduce your anxiety. The more you know about this test, the less anxious you will bethe day you take it.  \nCONTENTS  \nORIENTATION 7  \nPart One: MATH 11  \nSubstitution 13  \nDefined Functions 23  \nMath Notes 26  \nNumber Theory 30  \nGeometry 48  \nCoordinate Geometry 173  \nElimination Strategies 195  \nInequalities 205  \nFractions & Decimals 217  \nEquations 226  \nAverages 243  \nRatio & Proportion 252  \nExponents & Ro","cbCaiifYlgTtj6MO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiifYlgTtj6MO","pdf",5619242,482,"English","# ORIENTATION\n## Format of the Math Sections\n## Level of Difficulty\n## Contents Overview","[{\"question\":\"What types of questions are included in the SAT math sections?\",\"answer\":\"The math sections include multiple-choice questions and grid-ins.
