 SAT Mathematics
Mathematics - Mathematics Level 1: SAT subject test – Mathematics Level 1 is a broad survey test intended for students who have taken three years of college-preparatory mathematics, including two years of algebra and one year of geometry.
- Mathematics Level 2: SAT subject Test – Mathematics Level 2 is a broad survey test intended for students who have taken college-preparatory mathematics for more than three years, including two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and elementary functions(precalculus) and/or trigonometry.

Purpose: SAT Subjects Test – This test measures the knowledge of mathematics through the first three years of college-preparatory mathematics for Level 1 and through pre calculus for Level 2. Format:
SAT Subjects Test – Mathematics follows the following given format: - 50 multiple-choice questions.
- The tests cover content typically taught in the first three years (for Level 1) or four years (for Level 2) of college-preparatory mathematics.
Students are not expected to have studied every topic on either test.Use of Calculators : SAT Subjects Test – Guidelines for the use of Calculators-Use of Calculator is allowed in SAT subjects Test-Mathematics (Mathematics Level 1 and Mathematics Level 2). - Both the tests require the use of a scientific or graphical calculator. It is not necessary to use a calculator to solve every question, but it is important to know when and how to use one. Students who take these tests without a calculator may be at a disadvantage.
- Both tests are developed with the expectation that most students are using graphic calculators. A graphic calculator may provide an advantage over a scientific calculator on some questions. However, student should carry the calculator one they are most familiar with.
- For 50–60% of the questions on Level 1 and 35–45% of the questions on Level 2, there is no advantage, perhaps even a disadvantage, of using a calculator.
- For 40–50% of the questions on Level 1 and 55–65% of the questions on Level 2, a calculator may be useful or necessary.

Important: * Topics in italics are tested on the Level 2 Test only. The content of Level1 overlaps somewhat with that on Level 2, but the emphasis on Level 2 is on more advanced content. Plane Euclidean Geometry is not tested directly on Level 2.
