Although the SAT provides a generous list of formulas accessible on test day, there are quite a few relevant formulas, properties, and strategies not included on that list. The Achievable course formula sheet provides a comprehensive list, with explanations where necessary, of quite a few other formulas relevant to the SAT. The last page of this sheet simply repeats the formulas provided by SAT on test day; we include it here so you can compare and contrast the formulas included on the test with those that aren’t.

We highly recommend making physical flashcards to memorize these formulas and concepts, as research and experience suggest that writing down the information and interacting physically with the cards provides the best retention. But if you prefer online flashcard sites such as Quizlet, please use those; the format that feels most accessible to you is the one that is likely to work best.

If you do use physical flashcards, we recommend the “Leitner Box” method, which separates the cards into four or five boxes, ranging from boxes labeled Every Day to a box with some lesser frequency, such as Every Week or Every Other Week. When you answer a card correctly, move it toward the “less frequent” box. When you answer a card incorrectly, move it toward the “more frequent” box. The formulas that stump you the most should remain in the Every Day box until you begin gaining consistent traction with them.

If you apply yourself faithfully to retaining these formulas in your working memory, you will see significant fruit of your labors on the SAT math section!
