SAT Math Formula Cheat Sheet
SAT Math Formula Cheat Sheet (Free Downloadable PDF)
Preparing for the SAT Math section? This complete SAT Math Formula Sheet includes every essential formula you need—algebra, geometry, functions, statistics, trigonometry, and more. It’s organized, student-friendly, and optimized for fast learning. A printable PDF version is available below.
Why Memorizing SAT Math Formulas Matters
While the SAT provides a small formula sheet, it doesn’t cover everything. Students aiming for 600, 700, or 750+ in Math need a deeper and more complete formula guide. Knowing formulas saves time, reduces mistakes, and dramatically boosts your confidence.
SAT Math Topics Covered
- Algebra & Linear Equations
- Quadratic Functions
- Systems of Equations
- Geometry & Measurement
- Trigonometry Basics
- Statistics & Probability

📘 Full SAT Math Formula List
Algebra & Linear Equations
- Slope: (y₂ − y₁) ÷ (x₂ − x₁)
- Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- Point-Slope Form: y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)
- Standard Form: Ax + By = C
- Distance Formula: √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]
Quadratics
- Quadratic Formula: x = (−b ± √(b² − 4ac)) ÷ (2a)
- Vertex Form: y = a(x − h)² + k
- Factored Form: y = a(x − r₁)(x − r₂)
- Axis of Symmetry: x = −b ÷ (2a)
Geometry
- Triangle Area: (1/2) × base × height
- Circle Area: πr²
- Circumference: 2πr
- Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- Rectangle Area: length × width
- Rectangular Prism Volume: l × w × h
Trigonometry (SAT Basics)
- Sine = opposite ÷ hypotenuse
- Cosine = adjacent ÷ hypotenuse
- Tangent = opposite ÷ adjacent
- Pythagorean Identity: sin²x + cos²x = 1
Exponential Functions
- Growth: y = a(1 + r)ᵗ
- Decay: y = a(1 − r)ᵗ
Statistics & Probability
- Mean: sum ÷ number of values
- Median: middle value
- Mode: most frequent value
- Probability: favorable ÷ possible outcomes
- Slope of Best-Fit Line: direction of correlation
