Advice needed for an 800 on the Math section.

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Right now, I only care about the Math section. I want to go from a 600 to an 800 on the Math section.</p>

<p>I have Barron's Math Workbook for the New SAT and I've been reading the chapters but have not been doing the problems. I feel that I should not do the problems until I really know those concepts so well. I feel that if I don't know some concepts too well and then do the problems that I'll simply "spoil" the problems and not benefit much. What I'm afraid of basically is that I won't have enough practice problems in the end.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any tips?</p>

<p>Go to your local library and your university library (if you live in a college town) and photocopy math problems.</p>

3

<p>Get every question right.</p>

<p>Pray to god.....</p>

<p>Hahaha, just joking...he won't do anything for you.</p>

<p>Well I got an 800 on math and this is what i did. I used the barron's SAT review, not the math one, just the general one (that is a lot harder than the real thing anyway). It helped me a lot and also when i took the test i used to rush through the problems but not at a pace i would really make big mistakes. then i would be left with 10 minutes and i would go back and check ALL My answers to make sure i didnt make stupid mistakes. This worked b/c i caught one question the SAT where it said what is the product of these numbers while i did the sum, so yea...</p>

<p>What was your score prior to the preparation you did with Barron's, Bramhabull?</p>

<p>There are plenty of sources for math practice, the best being the Blue book of course, but if you run out use PR 11 practice tests, Kaplan, and the other Barron's book. Also 10 Real SAT's, which is from CB as well.</p>

<p>To be honest, reading Barron's concepts from the Math Workbook doesn't help, especially since the questions are like a billion times harder than the review that they give you. You have to learn to be a better problem solver. Do the questions after each section...seriously. You just need practice, not the concepts that are from like 5th/6th grade.</p>

<p>I got a 770 (missed one question) and for me the easiest way to do well is heavily review the basics in every subject (geometry, algebra, trig.), figure out your strengths and weaknesses, and focus on your weakest points.</p>

<p>Isnt math all about practice?</p>

11

<p>Do at least 10 SAT math sections, and you'll be set for an 800.</p>

12

<p>the differance between a 780 and 800 is luck, and do not let anyone tell you differantly. Anyone, even a math genius could misread a problem or accidentally circle the wrong bubble...colleges know this...I know you want to shoot for perfection, but be sure not to be one of those people who freaks out with a 750+</p>

13

<p>he ll- the difference between a 720 and 800 is luck. It's SO easy to misread and mess up at least ONE problem in each section.</p>

14

<p>how about a 670 and 800...do you think that's luck</p>

<p>lol</p>

15

<p>i just want a 700; i'd be out of my mind happy.</p>

16

<p>Could it really be called "luck" if a student scored a perfect 800 on the math section, five times in a row? That would be pushing the limits of the word "luck," I think. ... Not that I know anyone who would actually try to DO such a thing (!), you know, but there comes a point where luck really isn't the important factor. There are some students (unlike me) who are, frankly, superior SAT takers (notice I did not say superior people). In most cases, of course, a difference ~50 points means nothing.</p>

<p>i too :), 700-720 will be great score</p>
