SAT Math — the College Board practice for the SAT Math credential
SAT Math is the SAT Math credential. the College Board writes the outline; a fail is another sitting fee and a delayed start, not a school-curve disappointment. Related CoStudy banks (sat_reading_writing, act_math, act_verbal) test different sittings — using one as a stand-in for SAT Math is how people fail the appointment they paid for.
CoStudy’s SAT Math bank holds 80 multiple-choice questions and 250 flashcards. The published material this bank is written against begins: College Board Digital SAT Suite framework — 4 content domains: Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving & Data Analysis, Geometry & Trigonometry Every multiple-choice item on this page shows the full rationale in the HTML. CoStudy is not the College Board. We do not have live items, and we do not guarantee a result.

How this bank is different
- SAT Math is one SAT or ACT section, not the whole admissions sitting.
- Pacing is part of the exam. Untimed glossary work will not show you where the clock goes.
- SAT and ACT are different tests with different timing. Do not drill them as one pile.

Study timeline
Rotate mixed sets so one topic cannot hide. A blended percentage hides the chapter that will fail you.
Six-week SAT Math block — 10–14 hours/week
Weeks 1–4: mixed practice with an error log. Week 5: only the item types you miss. Week 6: timed full-length sittings. Do not add a second exam’s outline in the last ten days.
Twelve-week working-hours plan — 6–8 hours/week
Two or three evenings and one weekend block. Keep a written error log keyed to chapters, not to “I was tired.” The last fourteen days are timing and weak-chapter repair only. If you are also sitting a related exam (sat_reading_writing), do not merge the decks.

A sample of 7 multiple-choice questions from the bank, with the full rationale shown.
The probability of rolling a sum of 7 on two fair six-sided dice is:
- 1/12
- 1/8
- 1/6
- 1/4
Answer: C — 1/6
C) Six favorable pairs out of 36 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1) → 6/36 = 1/6. A/B/D) Other probabilities for different sums.
Solve for x: 5^(x+1) = 125.
- 1
- 4
- 3
- 2
Answer: D — 2
125 = 5³, so x + 1 = 3 → x = 2. When bases match, set exponents equal.
A rectangle has perimeter 28 and area 48. What are its dimensions?
- 4 × 12
- 6 × 8
- 5 × 9
- 7 × 7
Answer: B — 6 × 8
L + W = 14, LW = 48. Solving: 6 × 8 = 48 and 6 + 8 = 14. ✓
If 3x − 5 = 16, what is the value of x?
- 3
- 5
- 7
- 21
Answer: C — 7
Add 5 to both sides: 3x = 21. Divide by 3: x = 7. (A) divides 21 by 7 instead of by 3. (B) subtracts 16−5−3 in the wrong order. (D) forgets to divide by 3.
Solve: |2x − 5| = 7.
- x = 6 or x = −1
- x = 6 only
- x = 1 or x = −6
- No solution
Answer: A — x = 6 or x = −1
Absolute value gives two cases: 2x − 5 = 7 → x = 6; or 2x − 5 = −7 → x = −1.
A population of 200 grows 3% per year. What is the predicted population after 2 years (rounded)?
- 206
- 212
- 218
- 260
Answer: B — 212
Use the compound formula P = 200(1.03)² = 200 × 1.0609 = 212.18, rounded to 212. (A) applies 3% once not twice; (D) does linear growth (200 + 60).
If 2^x = 8, what is x?
- 2
- 1.5
- 4
- 3
Answer: D — 3
8 = 2³, so x = 3. The exponential form 2^x lets us match exponents on the same base.
SAT Math flashcards
6 sample cards from the 250 in the bank.
Solve: -3x + 5 ≤ 11. Watch sign flip!
-3x ≤ 6 → x ≥ -2 (flip inequality).
Absolute value: solve |x − 5| = 7.
x − 5 = 7 or x − 5 = -7 → x = 12 or x = -2.
Horizontal asymptote of (3x² + 1)/(x² + 5)?
y = 3 (ratio of leading coefficients, equal degrees).
Factor: x² + 2x − 8.
(x+4)(x−2).
Product of roots of ax² + bx + c = 0?
c/a.
Compound interest: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt). What if continuously compounded?
A = Pe^(rt).

Frequently asked
What is the SAT Math exam?

How is CoStudy’s SAT Math bank organised?
It holds 330 items (80 multiple-choice, 250 flashcards). Free samples on this page include the full rationale, with no account.
Should I study SAT Math and sat reading writing as one pile?
No. SAT Math is its own sitting. Related banks on CoStudy (sat_reading_writing, act_math, act_verbal) exist because candidates confuse neighbouring credentials. Use the outline for the exam on your voucher.
Where do SAT Math fees, cut scores, and pass rates live?
On the College Board’s published pages — start at the SAT test specifications. This page quotes a number only when we retrieved it from an official URL, and otherwise says unverified. Prep blogs that tabulate every exam’s price are often stale.
Are these real SAT Math exam questions?
No. CoStudy does not have live items. The samples below are original practice written to the published outline, with rationales. Anyone selling “real exam dumps” is describing something you should not buy.
