Do you own Dr.Chung's SAT Math? Discussing Results

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>Posted this in the other general Standardized Testing thread, but I thought I would open this question to everyone here, too: </p>

<p>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>It seems everyone has a different opinion on how valuable a resource Dr. Chung's <strong><em>SAT I Math</em></strong> text is, so I thought I'd try to do some research on CC. </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). I have not yet done an Official SAT Practice Test; I was hoping to move through Dr. Chung's practice tests first, before I try any others. </p>

<p>Thoughts? </p>

<p>My thought? You are wasting precious time. If you went through the tips, and by some strange coincidence found them helpful, there is nothing you can do about it. But you should not compound the error by also devoting time of those (or any other) wannabe tests. </p>

<p>Jump on the official tests and do not look back. Fwiw, there is NO possible answer to “how much did you improve” after reading X or Y because you cannot trace it to a specific book or your own developing abilities through practicing. </p>

<p>Everytime I see a post asking if “Dr Chung’s book is good or not.” I always know I can see @xiggi‌ give his two cents. He is right though, don’t spend anytime with that book.</p>
