<p>if you are aiming for a 650 in the sat math and you score low on the dr chung book(500-550)
and a lot higher in the princeton review sat book... how would the scale of the chung book relate to a regular sat exam. How much should you be scoring in the chung book if you want a 650. Finally what is best way to use the book besides going over tips and taking mock tests?</p>
<p>From what I believe the Dr. Chung book is to help students solve the Level 4/5 math problems faster so they can have time to check their work for careless mistakes. If you don’t understand how to do problems in the book, then study the 50 tips a little more. </p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>do you know whats the average increase on your score from this book</p>
<p>Honestly, I advise you not to get the book at all. It is designed for people with a high starting score like at least 650. Until you get there, you need to work on the concept first.You won’t even understand the book. Coming from me who had a 690 at the start, I found some of the tips ridiculous/ uncomprehensible. With that being said my score raised 50 points- would have been 90 if I did not miss 2 medium questions. But, I don’t think that was due to the book at all. I suggest you put your money to a better book like Gruber’s or Princeton Review Manual.</p>
<p>unfortunately i already started using the book and went thru all the tips lol…i have a princeton review book</p>
<p>someone on cc recommended that i use this book for the greatest increase in score so now im not sure</p>
<p>You shouldn’t so skeptical about the validity of the book. I read through all the tips and I do find them useful, one of which helped me answer a hard math question in a test from the CB online course (No I don’t take the actual course). Pretty soon I plan to start doing the mock exams in the book.</p>
<p>Have you done any of the tests? If you have not, then you should still give the book a chance, and when doing the mock tests, do it untimed so you can focus on getting the touch questions right before you focus on doing them fast. Really, practice will lead to perfection, or at least improvement.</p>
<p>And yeah if you don’t understand a concept, I recommend you use a algebra or precalculus textbook to learn the concept rather than another SAT prep book.</p>
<p>thanks man and yeah ive done 3 mock tests timed and i get like 7 to 8 or even 9 questions right in each section so i will start doing it untimed.</p>
