READING AND WRITING SECTION Craft and Structure - Words in Context: Choosing the most precise word or phrase that fits the meaning and tone of the sentence/passage. - Text Structure and Purpose: Determining how a text is organized, the function of a sentence/paragraph, or the overall purpose of the text. - Cross-Text Connections: Comparing or contrasting ideas, arguments, or information between two related short passages (passage pairs). Information and Ideas - Central Ideas and Details: Identifying the main idea, summarizing key points, or locating specific details. - Command of Evidence (Textual): Selecting the sentence or portion of text that best supports a given claim or conclusion. - Command of Evidence (Quantitative): Interpreting data from tables, bar graphs, or line graphs to support or evaluate a claim. - Inferences: Drawing logical conclusions based on information that is suggested but not directly stated. Standard English Conventions - Form, Structure, and Sense: Correcting issues with subject-verb agreement, verb tense and form, pronoun use, modifier placement, parallelism, and overall sentence logic. - Boundaries: Proper use of punctuation (commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, periods) and handling sentence boundaries (run-ons, fragments, etc.). Expression of Ideas - Transitions: Choosing the best transition word, phrase, or sentence to improve logical flow between ideas. - Rhetorical Synthesis: Selecting the most effective way to combine or revise information to achieve a particular purpose (e.g., making text more concise, precise, or impactful). MATH SECTION Algebra - Linear equations in one variable - Linear equations in two variables - Linear functions (interpreting slope, intercepts, graphs) - Systems of two linear equations in two variables - Linear inequalities in one or two variables Advanced Math - Equivalent expressions (rewriting and simplifying) - Nonlinear equations in one variable (especially quadratics) and systems of equations in two variables - Nonlinear functions (quadratic, exponential, polynomial, radical, rational, absolute value) - Questions may involve solving, graphing, or interpreting these more complex expressions and equations. Problem-Solving and Data Analysis - Ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and units - Percentages - One-variable data: distributions, measures of center (mean, median), and spread - Two-variable data: models, scatterplots, and lines of best fit - Probability and conditional probability - Inference from sample statistics and margin of error - Evaluating statistical claims (observational studies and experiments) Geometry and Trigonometry - Area and volume - Lines, angles, and triangles (including congruence and similarity) - Right triangles and trigonometry (sine, cosine, tangent ratios) - Circles (circumference, area, arcs, sectors, equations) - Questions often combine geometry with algebra (e.g., using coordinates or equations of circles).
