7 guides beyond the syllabus: strategy, section guide, scoring, test day, planning and overview.
Strategy
A practical strategy for reaching the 175+ band: master the calculator and formula sheet, protect easy marks in Part 1, translate word problems into equations, and use checking methods to reduce unforced errors.
Section guide
How to handle the 20-minute no-calculator part: mental arithmetic, fraction-decimal-percent fluency, estimation, order of operations, quick algebra, and when to move on.
Section guide
How to use the on-screen TI-30XS efficiently without overusing it: setup, fraction and exponent keys, checking graph and geometry work, and avoiding entry mistakes on a long timed section.
Scoring
What the 100–200 scale means, what 145, 165, and 175 represent, why raw-score guesses are imperfect, and how to judge readiness from practice performance.
Test day
What to expect before and during the test, how the break works, how to use the formula sheet and calculator reference sheet, pacing checkpoints, and final answer-check habits.
Planning
A structured plan covering number skills, algebra, geometry, graphs and functions, mixed review, timed practice, and full mocks with error-log review.
Overview
What the provided formula sheet and calculator reference sheet are for, which formulas you should still know automatically, and how to avoid wasting time searching for information mid-test.
