Consistently Missing 1-3 Questions on SAT Math

<p>I've taken the SAT twice, the PSAT twice, and 3 full official practice tests as well as numerous full unofficial practice tests or PSAT practices. The thing is, I consistently and I mean CONSISTENTLY miss 1-3 math questions. I have NEVER gotten perfect, always one or two "careless errors." On this past November SAT I missed only 1, and from my experience, it's not going to get any better than that. Too bad the curve sucked and got me 750 for minus one ㅜ_ㅜ</p>

<p>So my question is, is there a way I can overcome this or is it just my human error? I'm thinking to get an 800 would be pure luck for me. Should I retake one more time or should I just go for the ACT instead?</p>

<p>By the way, math is my strongest subject and I have an A in Multi at the moment, so I’m starting to realize SAT does not really reflect math ability.</p>

<p>Also make sure you read each question carefully, maybe even two or three times. This is obvious, but I’ve missed AIME and olympiad-level problems on occasion due to misreading or misinterpreting.</p>

<p>@daniiiiis‌ Did you do poor on the SAT? The SAT Math for a lot of math loving people and me, is a game that we want to score high on. Yes, it is true that SAT does not reflect one’s ability in some aspects, but many do want to achieve a high score that we carry along forever. </p>

<p>@MITer94‌ Thanks for the link ^^</p>

<p>@barcakid39‌ My superscore is 2310. I have motivation to retake to get 800 in CR because this Nov test had brutal vocab and I’ve gotten 800 in all the practices. Already have 800 in writing. I understand what you’re saying though. I know it’s pretty much a game of wanting a high score but ugh. I still want it. Especially in math, of all things.</p>

<p>@daniiiiis‌ yea, that’s the bad part of the SAT: one always get the same score over and over again. It’s actually designed to be in that format. </p>
