<p>I consider myself a good student so I'm above average in all my subjects but math has always been my lowest grade (besides ap physics) since 3rd grade. My avg math grade is a low A... Maybe around a 92 or 93. And I work hard for it too! However, many if my friends have high As in math, such as 98s and 97s and they don't put in near as much effort as I do. Then again I'm in Ap calc (AB) as a junior which is two years ahead of on level at my public school. I'm sure if I was just 1 year advanced like most of the other honors kids in my grade than my math grade would be in accordance with my other grades. A week ago, I took an sat practice test from the official collegeboard blue book and scored an 800 which means I'm good at math.... How is this possible?! Why am I so much better at lit in school but I only got a 650 on reading and a 730 on writing?!</p>
<p>And ignore the grammar/spelling mistakes, I didn’t proofread this haha</p>
<p>It helps to note that SAT math is completely different from calculus, and you can’t really correlate calculus grades to scores on a math exam which is at the 10th grade level. Or maybe there are some calculus concepts that you don’t understand well, or some test-taking strategies…lots of possible factors.</p>
<p>Unfortunately I’m the opposite.
I get mid 90s or even high 90s on math exams in school but math seems to be my lowest on the SAT. XD</p>
<p>Just enjoy the bump your math score gives your SAT. 
Well you still have to do well on actual test. Do it soon so that you can take it more than once. Many schools superscore, especially M+CR and try to focus on practicing to bring up CR score. One thing to note on CR, many times a question will say “on line xx, what is…”. Noticed when practicing with Ds that there is usually a wrong answer that sounds right when you only look at specified line. Be sure and read several lines back for context.</p>
<p>It is likely just your inherent intelligence. The SAT math section tests simple concepts that everyone has the ability to understand and can master by doing lots of problems. Higher mathematics such as calculus requires a deeper level of thinking/ability. </p>
<p>Just don’t major in math or engineering if you’re not very smart. Not everyone has the aptitude, and there are plenty of other things to do. That being said calc in hs really shouldn’t be difficult for almost anyone as long as you apply yourself.</p>
<p>SAT is not a math test</p>
