SAT PREP

Four step strategy

Step 1. Estimate the question’s difficulty

Step 2. Read the question.

Step 3. Skip or do.

Step 4. Look for the fastest approach.

Divisibility and Remainders Pick a specific number that satisfies the

description. Examples.

1. When z is divided by 8, the remainder is 5. What is the remainder when 4z is divided by 8?

2. When n is divided by 12, the remainder is 0. What is the remainder when 2n is divided by 6?

Geometry Special Triangles

o Area (of triangle)

Geometric probability

Triangle Inequality

Multiple and strange figures

Triangles Angles sum to 180

Area = ½ (base) (height)

Special triangles Equilateral Triangles

All interior angles are 60 degrees and all sides are of equal length.

Isosceles TrianglesTwo sides have equal length and the

angles facing these sides are equal.
