<p>How much did you study and what were your methods/strategies of accomplishing this? Did you use any specific prep books that seemed to work? What would you recommend to others who were aspiring to do the same? Many thanks!</p>
<p>I come near 800 on math every time, mainly because I took SAT Subject Test Math II.
SAT math seems like a cake after taking math II.</p>
<p>Also Grubers clears all and every math concept possible for SAT. (like 101 math concepts.)</p>
<p>i use a little strategy called logic. it's gotten me pretty far without any preparation. think each problem through completely. you have the tools to do the problem, you just have to select them.</p>
<p>yea i get 750s to 800s on math every time and i dont study much...best thing to do is to practice math sections on SAT (it will help a lot)</p>
<p>This is sort of random, but a big time saver for me was transferring my answers to the sheet after I finished both pages. I got 760 CR 800 M, by the way.</p>
<p>I got a 760 reading as a sophomore. I didn't do anything special, I was just glad I could stay awake that long with mono! :P</p>
<p>All you have to do for the math and writing sections is learn/memorize the rules. There are not so many writing rules--just subject/verb agreement and stuff like that. There are more for math, but if you've taken high school math, you should know them pretty well already. The Princeton Review SAT Manuel is very good at teaching the rules. The reading section consists of vocab and reading. The key to the reading section is reading the questions before or as you read the passage, so that you only have to read the passage once. The vocab is the hardest to prepare for because you cannot just memorize a few words because you do not know what words they will ask you. If you do not have a strong vocabulary (like me) and you do not want to memorize 500 words in the hope that the college board will choose 15 of them (like me), then it becomes mostly luck. In fact, that is what the whole SAT test is--luck: whether they ask a question that you know or one that you do not. I've been pretty lucky so far. So, learn your rules and good luck!</p>
<p>lol
-read the vocab lists, memorize them (easy if you have a photographic memory)
-do advanced math problems and take advanced math classes, that should be enough for all the math problems on the SAT
-write and read a lot and memorize grammar rules.</p>
<p>basically it's all memorization</p>
<p>you're sort of right. i wouldn't call math memorization. you need to know the techniques and apply them. writing is memorization. same with vocab...but for CR all of the answers are in the passages so if you focus on the questions, that should help you there</p>
<p>I got a 780 CR, an 800 W, and a 660 M. I didn't study anything, though I clearly could have used some touchup on math. :)</p>
<p>^yeah, math is easiest to touch up on.</p>
