SAT Math practice, by domain

Free, real-format SAT Math practice you can take one domain at a time — Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving & Data Analysis, and Geometry & Trigonometry — with a built-in calculator and a full explanation on every answer.

SAT Math is the test's second section — 44 questions in 70 minutes — across four official domains: Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving & Data Analysis, and Geometry & Trigonometry. About three-quarters are multiple choice and a quarter are fill-ins (you type the answer), and a built-in graphing calculator is allowed the whole time. Practice by domain, and learn from every miss.

Before you practice

Three things that shape SAT Math

Knowing what's tested, what tools you get, and how the fill-ins work changes how you practice — so set up for the section the way it actually runs.

What's tested

Mostly algebra and advanced math.

The bulk of the section is algebra and advanced math, with data analysis and some geometry and trigonometry rounding it out. None of it is exotic — it's all coverable with steady, targeted practice, which is exactly what practicing one domain at a time gives you.

Calculator + reference

A calculator and formula sheet are always on screen.

A graphing calculator and a formula sheet stay available for the whole Math section, so you never have to memorize the reference formulas. Practice with both in front of you — knowing when to reach for the calculator (and when it just slows you down) is its own skill. Our Desmos calculator guide walks through the built-in tools technique by technique.

Fill-ins

About a quarter are student-produced responses.

For roughly a quarter of Math questions there are no answer choices — you type your own answer. Practice entering them cleanly, including fractions and decimals, so the format never costs you a question you actually solved correctly.

Pick a domain and start.

Reading about the section helps; working real-format questions — with the calculator, the fill-ins and a full explanation each time — helps more.

How to practice it

One domain at a time, then mixed under the clock

The fastest way to raise an SAT Math practice estimate is to work narrow before you work wide. Start in a single domain — say, linear equations — until the moves feel automatic, then layer in the next. Once each domain holds on its own, switch to mixed timed sets so you practice deciding what kind of problem you're looking at, the same call you'll make on test day. Every answer comes with a full explanation, so a miss turns into a fix instead of just a red mark.

The four Math domains

  • Algebra — linear equations, systems, inequalities
  • Advanced Math — nonlinear equations and functions
  • Problem-Solving & Data Analysis — ratios, percentages, statistics, probability
  • Geometry & Trigonometry — area, angles, right triangles, circles
  • Practice each domain on its own, then mix under the clock
FAQ

SAT Math practice questions

What's on the SAT Math section?
44 questions in 70 minutes across Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving & Data Analysis, and Geometry & Trigonometry.
