Prepare for the American Board (ABCTE) Mathematics subject exam with a complete study guide organized around the seven official content domains, with two practice tests weighted exactly like the real exam and built to be worked by hand.

What's Inside

• Exam overview: 125 multiple-choice questions in 240 minutes, no calculator and no formula sheet, Proficient (272) and Distinguished (340) scores on the 500 scale, delivery, results, retakes and fees

• Number Sense: the real number system, field properties, complex numbers, number theory, ratios, proportional reasoning, percents and consumer mathematics

• Algebra and Functions: linear equations, inequalities and systems, functions and transformations, polynomials, rational expressions, quadratics, conic sections, exponents, logarithms, sequences, series and the binomial theorem

• Geometry and Measurement: proof, triangles, similarity, constructions, polygons, circles, transformations, coordinate geometry, area, surface area and volume

• Trigonometry, probability and counting, statistics and the normal distribution, linear algebra (matrices, determinants, vectors) and calculus (limits, derivatives, integrals, differential equations, series)

Good to know: this guide covers the Mathematics subject exam only. American Board certification also requires the separate Professional Teaching Knowledge (PTK) exam, which has its own study guide in our shop (we also offer a combined Mathematics and PTK guide).
