Students are given facts and formulas on the SAT. This is a fairly standard practice.
If the college is using something like the Accuplacer test that college board administers, it's a pretty basic test, much, much easier than the SAT. I don't think they give formulas, they really aren't even needed for the types of questions on that test.
I would contact a local college or a school your student may be interested in and ask them for a sample test. Have your student take it to their math teacher and find out if he's covered the skills included. If he has gone up to say Algebra II/Trig by senior year, he likely won't have a test beyond the Accuplacer.
