SAT Prep: Test 4 Section 8 Part 2

Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an...

Addressing problems 15-16 on the practice SAT, Sal draws the diagram necessary for solving the geometry problem in number 15. After solving for the area of the triangle, he goes on to the quadratic equation in number 16, taking care to...

Sal has a good time solving problem 20 on page 738, allowing students to look past the "trickiness" of SAT problems and, possibly, to enjoy solving the problem. He takes them through each step of the problem, taking care to point out the...

Taking time to thoroughly explain and work through problems 15-16, Sal models careful reading and problem solving. He begins problem 17 but continues it in the next video.

Using pie graphs and multiple variables, Sal carefully (yet efficiently) moves through problems 5-8 of this practice SAT session (page 839 from The Official SAT Study Guide). Both beginning and advanced mathematicians will appreciate...

Price increases in real life aren't enjoyable, but Sal's enthusiasm and easygoing explanation makes the question on increasing prices on the practice SAT fun! Showing students how to easily work through problems involving the Pythagorean...

Sal tackles problems 12-14 of the practice SAT, which deal with linear equations (with negative numbers and radicals). Demonstrating more than one way to solve the problems, Sal takes care to note the most efficient ways to still arrive...

Sal notes the important of reading a question very carefully in this video, as he nearly misreads a problem but catches his error before it's too late. Most problems shown here involve algebra skills.

Problems 7-9 involve exponents, inequalities, and geometric figures (diameter and radius), all of which Sal explores eagerly. After misreading one problem, he takes care to correct his mistake, showing students how important it is to...

Beginning a series based on The Official SAT Study Guide(first edition), the speaker (Sal) deftly demonstrates how to work through the types of problems typically seen on the SAT. He assumes that the reader is also working from the...
