<p>I am sure there are some people who don't study at all and get 800s on each section effortlessly. However, a lot of people have to study a lot to get 800 on each section. Will you who worked hard on each section to get 800s share your strategy? Thank you!</p>
<p>800 math = review some algebra, plane/solid geometry, and basic algebra 2 (probablity, combinations, permutations, etc..) and 800 math is easy. </p>
<p>800 CR = I haven''t read a lot, but I don't think CR is that hard. I'd say you have to study and try to memorize about a thousand words. On the passages, it helps me to first read the questions (not answer choices though) and then read the passage. That way as you are reading, you can answer at least the specific inference questions (like on lines 45-46, the author....). The general questions like main idea questions will be easy as long as you get the overall tone of the passage. (I am Asian btw. :D)</p>
<p>800 writing = My weakest section. :( Although I am not in any position to give advices to people, reading some grammar books improved my score tremendously.</p>
<p>I don't think anyone gets 800 on writing without studying. All those grammar rules and SAT essay format.</p>
<p>This thread is motivating because it reminds me that an 800 can be achieved. I haven't seen an 800 on my own score report, but all these 800s make it seem a bit closer. BTW, if no one minds, did any of you 800 scorers start with the high 600s, like 680 -700 at one time?</p>
<p>i started with 700 on math but i started being more careful and reviewed some concepts i forgot. i usually get 800 but sometimes i get 1 wrong.</p>
<p>I don't get 800s on CR all the time but usually around 750. I used to get 600s.</p>
<p>I used to get 500s on writing. Now I am at 600-650. I just don't get writing. :(</p>
<p>"after all, only a stupid brain like mine would think that 20 times 5 is 120."</p>
<p>I looked at that for a second and wondered why you said it was wrong. Then I realized and banged my head against something hard and realized why I screwed up the SAT math.</p>
<p>No 800s here. Yet.</p>
<p>800 CR, 790 W (perfect MC, 8 essay)</p>
<p>But math sucked.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um, is this sarcastic? Lmao, there’s only a few hard words in the vocab, vocab isn’t even the majority of CR…Its like 20 questions of it. And the only hard ones are like the last question of each vocab section, just skip it.</p>
<p>I think they’re all about equally easy to do perfectly in. You’re allowed less mistakes in M, but it’s easier to get all of them right than it is in CR. W isn’t very difficult-- you just have to be lucky with the MC. If you get perfect and a 10, you’ll get an 800. I didn’t get a perfect in W, but it’s because I got a few wrong on the MC, so that’s a bit frustrating. But realistically, they design each section to be equally difficult-- even though, if you look at percentages, difficulty on average is W>CR>M. W is best at predicting college performance… Sucks for me.</p>
<p>I got an 800 on reading without study (though I have been reading most of my life), therefore, it is the easiest for me. Interestingly enough, I’m able to know the kind of vocabulary on the SAT without inserting it into every sentence, as many people I know do.</p>
<p>Reading man. The vocab is a bit tough but usually you can use process of elimination to get the answer. And the actual passages are easy, you barely have to think. The answers are all written right IN the passage :P</p>
<p>800 math and math IIc</p>
<p>I’ve always been a math kid, and my mom started working on my skills when I was all but 4. I’ve always just been slightly ahead of the curve in that category, but I’m good awful with grammar. I got a 670 writing that killed my score x(</p>
<p>800 math!
but probably cause i’m asian :)</p>
<p>CR is a ****</p>
<p>writing or math</p>
<p>math is just careless errors… writing is the same i suppose :)</p>
<p>readings just hard for me because i have almost no knowledge of any vocabulary words or roots :/</p>
<p>Statistically Writing is the least likely to ace, followed by CR, then Math with ~6000, 9000, and 12000 people last year scoring 800 in each respective section. A detailed report is available at CB’s website.</p>
<p>I got an 800 writing in October (and November) after getting a 580 last year. It comes down to dedicating oneself to learning the proper grammar rules and writing an SAT-friendly essay, i.e. a BSed one.</p>
<p>Math comes down to just knowing the tested concepts and how to apply them to the question asked. Unfortunately I overcomplicated a fairly easy problem which cost me a perfect score in that section.</p>
<p>To me CR seems like the hardest due to the esoteric vocab and somewhat subjective questions.</p>
<p>If you’re aiming for a High Score on Math, then you’ve probably already mastered the content, and you should focus on eliminating the careless or stupid mistakes that can happen in a test covering several hours. Using a Practice Based solution is probably your best bet. Try something online that will store all the questions youve taken, and ensure you’re focused on the right areas.</p>
<p>this thread makes me so depressed, im such a waste getting a 650 on math</p>
<p>My only 800 was on writing. None wrong on the multiple choice with a 12 essay.</p>
<p>800 CR - I love studying vocab soo much so I was almost sad to see that. Read, read + DH</p>
<p>680 M - FAIL! So sad… Anyone have any specific suggestions for books/guides for Math?</p>
<p>800 M - Easy. Too bad I always have to misread a few problems…
800 CR - I wouldn’t know. On my practice tests, I range from 680-800. It’s so annoying.
800 W - HARD. Every time, I encounter like 2 MC that I have no clue on.</p>
