AGH! Bojack just mentioned that four-letter word.
I think you need to know a fair bit of trig, Bojack. I've taken 'bout 4 practice PSATs so far, and the big emphasis seems to be mostly on 30-60-90 triangles, 45-45-90 triangles, properties of isoceles and equilateral triangles, and triangles in comparison to other polygons. Mostly solving for unknown side lengths and areas of shaded regions.
Man, I am just going berserk here. My latest score on one of the practice tests was a 199, and I need to get up to a 215. I hate math with a passion *makes lots of stupid mistakes*
