GUYS, please help me out (regarding math)...

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>On the October SAT, I scored the following:</p>

<p>M: 570
W: 690; essay: 11
CR: 700</p>

<p>Total: 1960.</p>

<p>Math is obviously the section that I need to improve on. But I've exhausted all the math problems in the Blue Book, and my problem is mainly the fact that I have no foundation around the fundamentals. I need a really thorough SAT math book that can outline not the strategies - but rather the actual MATH CONCEPTS -for me to learn. I didn't get a good grasp of this in middle school, and it's haunting me now. I really need a very good book, so that I can surpass 2100 in December. Any suggestions? My target score is a 700 - 750 for math. I've heard of Rocket Review and Gruber, but I've never tried them out. Any suggestions?</p>

<p>I think the best way to learn it is from a person actually teaching it to you, so if you can, try to get a teacher at your school (doesn't have to be a calculus teacher, since SAT I covers up to Algebra 2) to teach to you some of the fundamentals. It won't even take very long. Once you get the hang of the basics, many of the problems will seem very easy to you because you can see how it works underneath.</p>

<p>And if you retake, keep in mind to check, check, CHECK! :D even math wizzes make stupid mistakes because some of the questions are designed to trick you.</p>
