SAT Math Tutoring and Test Prep

Why do students need help with SAT Math?

The SAT Math section is challenging for its heavy emphasis on algebra, data analysis, and advanced math skills and these are difficult areas for many students. Candidates are expected to understand and solve a variety of math problems, from creating linear inequalities to interpreting slopes and intercepts of lines, to interpreting solutions based on the context of nonlinear equations in one variable.

There are two parts to the SAT Math section: candidates have a 25-minute section without calculators to answer 20 questions and a 55-minute section with calculators to answer 38 questions. Our SAT Math tutors will help candidates boost their scores by taking numerous SAT Math practice tests under realistic test-taking conditions and develop a strong sense of familiarity with the test format.

For an exam where candidates have an average of just over one minute per question, exam technique is crucial—and many students struggle with developing this independently. This is one of the main benefits of having a SAT Math tutor as they can work with a candidate on different time management strategies.

The technical demands of SAT Math are high and students typically find that it is hard to improve without guided support from a private tutor. BartyED SAT Math tutors have seen many students struggle with SAT Math, and we know how to implement an effective tutoring programme that will help.
