SAT Elite · every day

  • Quadratics: sum of solutions = −b ÷ a
  • Percents: multiply the multipliers
  • Systems: add the equations
  • Lines: slope = −A ÷ B
  • Averages: use totals
  • Parabolas: vertex x = −b ÷ 2a
  • Exponents: split the exponent
  • Quadratics: count solutions with b² − 4ac
  • Quadratics: product of solutions = c ÷ a
  • Trig: sin x° = cos(90 − x)°
  • Circles: halve and flip for the center
  • Absolute value: sum = 2 × center
  • Functions: make the inside match
  • Polynomials: plug in for the remainder
  • Triangles: spot 3-4-5

Elite Math · Fridays

  • Functions: check both ends
  • Polynomials: plug in 1
  • Inverses: what input gives 7?

Calculus and competition tricks are on the way.

Satellite Math · coming later
