The College Board is redesigning SAT math to sidestep calculator shortcuts, shifting toward geometry and trigonometry problems that graphing tools can't easily solve. To prepare, use studyshare.app's hardest topics and work through calibrated practice questions that match the new style.

If you're taking the March SAT exam, you're not going to want to hear this, but they're going to make the math section harder than ever. And they're not going to be actually making the questions harder, but they're going to be making it so it's going to be harder to use Desmos. I've seen this pattern over the past 4 SATs where the questions lean less towards algebra and more towards geometry or questions that really can't be solved by Desmos. So here's how you can still do well. Go to the website studyshare.app, then Go to the question bank. In the question bank, pick a topic that you find hardest. Personally, I find geometry and trigonometry questions hardest. Pick a question amount, and right there, all of these questions have been updated, so they're the same caliber as the new questions that come out. They're gonna be the most up-to-date questions available.
