<p>I'm a little embarassed to say it but I've never gotten anything but an A in any of my math classes(and i just finished Calculus in my junior year) but I did quite average on my math on the SAT I. How dumb is that?</p>
<p>Yeah I know what you mean....I have always done exceptionally well (all A's) in my math classes...I'll be taking Calc. next year as a junior and I just don't get why I don't get close to an 800 on the SAT.</p>
<p>a girl who has helped me out w/ calc (& is extremely good at it) got i believe a 710 on the math. in the two times i took the SAT, i got a 790 & an 800. go figure. it makes me wonder what the point is of the math SAT.</p>
<p>The SAT I math isn't difficult. Given an unlimited amount of time, most people would get really high scores; however, there is a time limit and most people in a test situation get careless and make stupid mistakes. So really, it's just a test of how well you can concentrate.</p>
<p>I don't know if I forgot all of my earlier math or something because I took Algebra in 6th grade, but I botched the test totally! I laugh at myself thinking about it all the time.</p>
<p>Same problem here. Just finished Calculus and my last two SAT I math scores have been 700 and 680 (5 incorrect each time). I got a 770 on the Math Level 2 SAT II and the Precalc class I took was last summer and only went into Trig, not vectors, etc., so these low SAT math scores are surprising and a bit embarassing.</p>
<p>I thought that I paid a lot more attention on the June SAT, but I think I got screwed up by one problem and kind of lost my concentration after that. At least now I know that I need to practice all this math a lot more over the summer, and hopefully that will eliminate my stupid mistakes. We'll see...</p>
<p>Take into account the difficulty of your high school math classes. I've never received anything less than an A on any math class either, but compared to other high schools, the grading is quite simple, resulting in only a slightly above average SAT Math Score.</p>
<p>hm... well i take the IB diploma program, currently in the higher level math class, i guess its kinda equivalent to ap math? or w.e? not too sure, but i gues ive always ben in the most difficult math classes my school provide (im an international student), and well.. i never rlly excelled in them, guess i kinda struggled during the start for the IB higler level math, doing ok now, getting a 6 (highest 7, 6 is A i guess), but i find the SAT 1 math very easy tho, i got 800 for the june one, had one mistake, tho a lot of my peers in the same math class kinda 'screwed' up i guess? and got 700s or even 600s. but rlly, i jsut think it was careless mistake more than the ppl rlly duno how to do it. n i got 730 for my math 2c in may. tht was harder than the sat1 for sure...
oh, i had taken calculus and algebra n stuff during my soph and fresh year.</p>
