CHAPTER
Practice Test 3
This practice test is a simulation of the three Math sections you will
complete on the SAT. To receive the most benefit from this practice test,
complete it as if it were the real SAT. So take this practice test under
test-like conditions: Isolate yourself somewhere you will not be dis-
turbed; use a stopwatch; follow the directions; and give yourself only
the amount of time allotted for each section.
