<p>There's a ton of conflicting information on the web so I thought I'd gather a bit of data for myself. If you prepped for the SAT I Math with Dr. Chung's text, what were your scores on his practice tests versus any official practice tests you may have done and/or your actual SAT?</p>
<p>I'm aiming for a solid 800 but did the first test out of his book and was a bit dismayed to see I only scored in the 650-710 range (according to his conversion chart at the back of the book). </p>
<p>Edit: In case there's any confusion, this is for the SAT I and not an SAT Math Subject Test. </p>
<p>I have the Dr. Chungs book. I haven’t taken the actual test yet, but in practice tests I score around 770-800 depending on if I make a stupid mistake. I can say Dr. Chungs is pretty useless. The practice tests are unrealistic and I feel like they are hard versions of questions that wont even appear on the test. However, PWN the SAT is definitely one of the best Math guides you can get. I also worked through the 320 problems by Dr. Steve which also immensely helped me. I would say get either PWN the SAT, Dr. Steve’s, or both. </p>
<p>@thebossofbosses - Was that 770-800 in Dr. Chung’s book, or in an official SAT practice test? I haven’t done an official practice test yet since I was keen on finishing all of Dr. Chung’s tests first. Would that be unwise? </p>
<p>The reason I took a liking to Dr. Chung’s was I’d actually prefer to be overprepared… are you saying Dr. Chung’s is completely irrelevant?</p>
<p>I have a copy of Dr. Chung’s. I don’t know how it compares to the real test, however, as I’ve only taken it once (and did poorly…) and have taken the blue book test only once. Does anybody have a practice real test issued by the CollegeBoard? I’d like to get some real practice with real problems. Thanks.</p>

I am getting 770-800 on the collegeboard tests. I am also exactly like you where I like to be overprepared ( I completely overprepared for the subject tests), but Chungs is pretty irrelevant and there are also other sections for the SAT where we could focus on. Considering you are probably good enough to do decently well on the Chung’s practice tests, you are already able to do all of the math for the SAT. At a certain point it is just your ability to wrestle with problems and find the patterns. </p>
