SAT數(shù)學(xué)解析:考試內(nèi)容
美國教育考試服務(wù)中心(ETS)明確規(guī)定了SAT數(shù)學(xué)試題的出題范圍。表5-1-2是它的英文原文,表5-1-3是它的譯文。盡管表中提到了一些嚇人的字 眼,如數(shù)論,概率,統(tǒng)計(jì),集合,想象題等,實(shí)際上是一些初級(jí)的的知識(shí),國內(nèi)高中學(xué)到的內(nèi)容是足夠的了,無需特別補(bǔ)學(xué)這些知識(shí)。至于其他內(nèi)容,對(duì)中國學(xué)生來 說更是小菜一碟,不在話下。由此可見就內(nèi)容而言,中國學(xué)生所掌握的知識(shí)足以應(yīng)對(duì)SAT數(shù)學(xué)考試,故在此不再贅言。
