SAT Math Content Domains Study Guide

What you will learn

College Board organizes SAT Math around four content domains: Algebra, Advanced Math, Problem-Solving and Data Analysis, and Geometry and Trigonometry. The official page should be used for the current scope and question distribution. This guide translates the domain names into a study workflow without reproducing official questions.

Core ideas

• Algebra includes linear equations, systems, inequalities, and relationships.
• Advanced Math includes nonlinear expressions, equations, and functions.
• Problem-Solving and Data Analysis emphasizes ratios, rates, percentages, units, tables, scatterplots, probability, and statistical reasoning.
• Geometry and Trigonometry includes area, volume, lines, angles, triangles, circles, and right-triangle relationships.

A practical way to use this resource

1. Tag diagnostic questions by official content domain and by cause of error.
2. Review one prerequisite concept, then solve a short set without hints.
3. Write a correction that states the tested skill and a faster or clearer method.
4. Complete mixed timed practice so domain choice is not announced in advance.

Check your understanding

Create four columns, one for each domain. Add three skills you can demonstrate, two that need review, and one question you will ask a teacher or tutor. Revisit the chart after a timed module.

Accuracy and next steps

Use this page as a learning guide, compare your work with course requirements, and ask an instructor when a local rule or assignment direction differs.

Verification: Time-sensitive requirements should be checked on the linked official source. This page was reviewed on August 2, 2026.
