Preparing for the SAT Math Test
Most of the questions on the SAT Math Exam are going to be multiple-choice, but there will be some “grid-in” questions that will require you to come up with your own answer. You may also encounter some parts of the exam that ask multiple questions about a single given scenario.
When gridding in your answers, you can answer in fraction or decimal form and will not need to reduce fractions to their lowest terms, but mixed numbers will need to be converted to improper fractions. Keep in mind that the grid can hold a maximum of four decimal places and only accommodates positive numbers, and zero. On the grids, pay special attention so that you do not mark more than one circle in any of the columns. Further instructions will be given to you in the testing booklet on test day.
