<p>My initial score. 2030. </p>
<p>My score according to testmasters grader on 8th CB test. 1850.</p>
<p>April 1 is just around the corner.
Do people tend to do better on the actual SAT than on practice tests? </p>
<p>I don't know what to do anymore.</p>
<p>Hm, possibly silly mistakes. Keep trying.</p>
<p>yes DEFINATELY. first of all, i think some of the scaled scores are a little off, and second of all you're way more focused on the real thing. don't get frustrated, just keep on doing practice tests.</p>
<p>I forgot to mention that on CB test 4, I broke 2200. </p>
<p>I worry.</p>
<p>Are you good at math, in general? Because if you are, i have a good tip, but only if youre good at math.
People who are good at math dont always score high on the math section, by the way.</p>
<p>Is that your tip or somehting else</p>
<p>Milesguidon, I'm good at math.</p>
<p>Can you tell me your tip?</p>

I need your tip. I am good in math and hovering in the 700's. :(</p>
<p>I already took the SATs, but I want to know this "tip" too lol.</p>
<p>sorry i was out all day, heres the tip:</p>
<p>Rush through the math section and do every problem quickly, and get an answer for every one. That should take anywhere from 10-12 minutes, and when youre done with that, go back and do every single problem again, the same way you did it the first time. It worked for me and a my friends; on two practice tests and the real thing, I caught two errors each time I went back and did it quickly again, and that makes a big difference in your score.</p>
<p>^ I actually read your tip on another thread (I think it was you) so I tried it and it definitely worked!!! THANKS!! :) :)</p>
<p>I score in the 700s but I always only have a modest amount of time left to check... (about 5 minutes). How can I integrate this technique? (also my error are almost always from misreading the question to some other silly mistake)</p>
<p>you integrate this technique by completely forgetting about what you normally do on the math section and you rush. Thats it. Do every problem quickly and dont go through your work or check your answer. Just get through all of them twice. (it helps if you dont circle the answer in the test booklet). I want to stress that if you are a person who has a little more trouble with math and may need to take time to think about a problem, youre probably best taking that time. But if you always make those two or three errors and get a 710 and go "oh, duh" then you should try this method on at least a few practice tests.</p>
<p>By the way, a 710 is in no way a bad math score.</p>
