Why I made this
I work with students on SAT math constantly, and for years that meant making my own custom cheat sheets for them.
The SAT gives you a reference sheet, but it leaves off the formulas students actually miss, and it says nothing about Desmos, which is the single biggest advantage on the digital test. So I built the one I wanted my students to have. I have used it with them ever since.

A look inside
Here is the top of six of the 16 pages. The rest of each page is in the download.
Formulas not on the reference sheet
The SAT hands you a reference sheet. These are the formulas it leaves off, the ones students actually need.
Desmos: must know
21 moves for the Desmos calculator built into Bluebook, each with a real screenshot. Solving, systems, vertex, regression and more.
SAT math vocab
The words the test uses to hide what it is asking, with a picture for each one.
Solids not on the sheet
Surface area, the box with three names, and the shapes the reference sheet skips.
High scorers only
The formulas and tricks that only show up on the hardest questions. For students chasing 700+ in math.
Do I know it?
A checklist of every word, formula and Desmos move in the book. Check one when you can do it without looking. Whatever is unchecked is the study list.
