<p>The good news for you is that Math scores are easier to improve with preparation than are CR and Writing. </p>

<p>Consider finding a tutor to re-teach some of the math material - it doesn’t necessarily have to specifically be an SAT tutor - but just to review the Algebra I and II and Geometry concepts.</p>

<p>Also browse in a bookstore for different SAT prep books to find a couple different ones that would be most helpful for you. The CC conventional wisdom - the Xiggi method saying to work through the problems in the Blue Book, is probably not the best place for you to start, because your background is atypical for CC. I think you would be better off with a book that provides more explanations, rather than just jumping into practice tests. I think the SparkNotes study guides are more of the explanation type. (My son found them helpful for the SAT Subject Tests, but didn’t use them for the SAT itself, so I don’t know.)</p>
