getting that 750+ in math!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation

<p>^^^Totally agree with that. SAT math is NOT hard...but it is TRICKY. So I know kids in Calc C who do insane math competitions for fun like the rest of us watch crappy MTV reality shows, whose 2400s are avoiding them because of their 780s/790s in math. </p>

<p>Right now I'm at a stage in my prep that I'm realizing a lot of my errors are reading mistakes (despite my 800 Verbal...twice). Heck, I'm getting /easy/ questions wrong. A good tip is that the answer is supposed to come quick to you on the questions in the beginning, but at some point, you will get a "quick" answer and it's probably not right...so you have to slow down and think about what they're really asking later now.</p>

<p>Plug in #s for variables usually, unless the question itself /is/ the formula.</p>

<p>I never have time on the math section to check my work, unfortunately, but undoubtably that helps. If you have 5 minutes left at the end USE it.</p>

<p>Isnt' the PR Math a lot harder than Kaplan, because for kaplan I score around 700, and for PR I score around 580-600, so which one is more accurate.</p>

<p>I think the Princeton Review math is harder.</p>

<p>general advice- do the math section as fast as you can, get an answer and leave LOTS of time to recheck. i got a 780 after doing 2 practice math sections and that's the only thing i did- work VERY fast. you need to work on doing at least 1 problem every 30 seconds.</p>

<p>will get 800 next time using same strategy</p>
