SAT Math Report

Thanks for taking The College Panda Math Test! Keep in mind that your score/raw score is just an
Estimated Score: estimate and that the best estimate will come from doing a full exam, not just one section.
An estimated score higher than 700 means you know how to problem solve like a pro! Most students
who can get over a 700 are very capable of getting an 800 if they were only more careful in preventing

800 silly mistakes. Make the tough questions the priority in your practice, but treat all questions with care
like you would a baby panda.
An estimated score between 600 and 700 means you can handle most of the easy and medium
questions, but you constantly struggle to answer the tough questions at the end. The only way to get
 better at the tough ones is to practice
practice them and address any
any gaps in your problem solving weaponry.

An estimated score between 500 and 600 means you have a basic understanding of the math that's
tested, most likely through school. But the standard school curriculum isn't enough to get you a great
2012 National Average: score. You really need to start test prepping by getting used to what's tested and reviewing those
concepts.
488 An estimated score lower than 500 means you struggle to even interpret questions let alone solve
them. Focus on getting all the easy questions (at the beginning) right and then work your way up. Look
up any term that you don't know and review the fundamental gaps that you're missing. A lot of

Noticing which type of question you tend to get wrong

will help you prioritize your study. Algebra questions deal Algebra Geometry Arithmetic Data/Statistics
with functions (f(x)), graphs, proportions, variables, word
problems, factoring, exponents, lines, transformations, and 8/8 5/5 4/4 3/3
equations. Geometry questions deal with angles, parallel
lines, triangle properties, special triangles, circles, area,
perimeter, volume, and the pythagorean theorem. There is Easy Questions Medium Questions Hard Questions
no trigonometry or proofs on the exam. Arithmetic
questions cover rates, number properties (primes, even, odd, 7/7 10/10 3/3
etc.), fractions and percent, ratios, remainders, and
sequences.Data and statistics questions cover mean, median,
mode, combinations, charts, and probability.
What difficulty level of questions are you getting wrong? You missed points on these topics
Every math section goes straightforwardly from easy to
hard. If you're getting a lot of easy questions wrong, you
need to slow down and realize that every question is worth
the same amount - getting an easy question right is just as
good as answering a hard one. Watch the wording of the
questions carefully and don't be afraid to backtrack when
you get an answer you didn't expect. If you're getting just
the hard ones wrong, realize that the hard questions t ake a
little extra effort on your part. Don't be afraid to pursue
what may look like a deadend solution. Always write things
out and label what you can. You'd be surprised what you
can get through with a little persistence. Don't just stare at
the question.
