<p>how do u get a 800 in MAth? I keep getting in the 610s, and then when I look through my mistakes, I can answer almost half the ones i got wrong.</p>
<p>take a practice test and pinpoint the types of questions you get wrong, then study them separately.</p>
<p>soon you'll crack 700.</p>
<p>get a book with strategies and like etti said practice the ones you missed....of the three sections IMO math is your best bet to get an 800 on</p>
<p>The difference between a 700 and 800 is making as few careless mistakes as possible.</p>
<p>IMO math?</p>
<p>Oh. In-my-opinion.</p>
<p>International Mathematical Olympiad problems are a bit nastier than what you see on the SAT...</p>
<p>why do you think math is the best to get an 800 on?</p>
<p>dancingbear: I don't think they were saying that exactly, but rather that math was his/her best ** bet ** to get an 800 probably because it's the most concrete test out of the three because you can immediately identify your errors and correct them. However, I think most people would agree that an 800 on verbal is the most valuable of the three [this coming from a math major] because verbal and analysis skills are usually going to be the most important in a college student's career, but yeah, though getting an 800 in any section is definitely great.</p>
<p>I agree. Math is the one of the best subjects to easily score an 800. Well, not "easily," but you can predict the types of questions you'll encounter.</p>
<p>Writing, I think, is the easiest though. CR is a whole other animal though.</p>
<p>Then Why Only 525 Studetns Get A Perfect Score Out Of 1.2 Million Or So Taking The Sat Test Every Year?</p>
<p>I wouldn't say math is the easiest -- although most of the questions are fairly simple, this very fact makes it difficult to get a good score. Since the curve is so rough, even making one careless mistake will often keep you from the 800.</p>
<p>so basically taking practice tests and working on the weak areas is good enough?</p>
<p>I think it is enough; it's all you really can do.</p>
<p>practice makes perfect. That is the only thing that will help you get an 800.</p>
<p>I think what they mean to say is that it's the easiest one to prepare for, making it the "easiest."</p>
<p>definitely more than 525, closer to 5000 is my guess
The 75th %tile SAT math at MIT is an 800, so that's 250 kids right there</p>
<p>ya...525 is nothing in comparison to the whole US.</p>
<p>The 525 refers to a perfect score (2400) I think. When you are taking the test, just be paranoid. Make sure you aren't making stupid errors. Also, take practice tests.</p>
<p>Yeah, there's definitely a lot more than 525 that get just a perfect score on math alone, or else the three of us at our school are pretty special. But yeah, math is definitely the easiest IMO [though I am crazy math nerd so maybe that blinds my opinion] but yeah I just think since the answer is so exact and not debatable every time that that's what makes it the simplest in a sense, but maybe I just love math too much ;)</p>
<p>^ ya</p>
<p>there's no subjectivity</p>
