Generally speaking, SAT Math questions fall into three categories of difficulty: easy, medium, and hard.

In both the No Calculator and Calculator sections of the test, the multiple-choice questions are roughly in order from easy, to medium, to hard. And then this pattern repeats, with the shorter grid-in question section also progressing from easy, to medium, to hard.

Table 1-1 shows the rough breakdown of questions by difficulty levels.

TABLE 1-1 Easy, Medium, and Hard Questions

Section 3 — No Calculator	Section 4 — Calculator
Question Type	Question Number	Difficulty Level	Question Type	Question Number	Difficulty Level
Multiple Choice	1-5	Easy	Multiple Choice	1-10	Easy
6-10	Medium	11-20	Medium
11-15	Hard	20-30	Hard
Grid-In	16-17	Easy	Grid-In	31-33	Easy
18	Medium	34-35	Medium
19-20	Hard	36-38	Hard

Remember that every question counts for one point toward your raw score, which directly affects your scaled score (200–800). So, unlike the tests you take in school, the easiest and hardest questions on the SAT both have the same value.
