Abstract:
Most high school standardized testing preparation materials are geared towards the average student scoring in the 5 0 th percentile. There are few resources available to lower and higher scoring students who have different needs. The SAT is a standardized test that American high school students must take as part of the college application process. It includes subsections on Mathematics, Writing, and Critical Reading. The goal of this project is to provide a comprehensive SAT Mathematics study guide for high-achieving high school students initially scoring in the 70th percentile. Unlike other study materials, this guide focuses on the content and strategies needed for this particular group of students to perform better on the SAT. In the future, this study guide will include material for the Writing and Critical Reading subsections, and provide students with more sample SAT problems.
