<p>So... I've been studying for SATs all summer and so far I've increased my score from 1820 to 1910, but I do have specific difficulties with the SAT that I can't seem to remedy. A lot of people here cry about making stupid mistakes or not being familiar with the types of questions and ending up with 2190's on their practice tests. >__>;</p>
<p>My problem is that I just cannot seem to get the hard questions of the test. Example situation: I work through a whole 25 minute math section. I finish the first 17 or so questions, get a vast majority of them right. I then am left with around 15 minutes which I spend entirely on the last 3 questions, usually only getting 1 right. </p>
<p>This doesn't just apply to math. Sometimes I just don't know how to do the question. Is there anyway I could master the harder questions? (In this case, practice with prep books doesn't really cut it as there aren't many hard questions per test)</p>
<p>Thanks~</p>
<p>When you said you ‘finished’ the Blue Book, do you mean that you read through all the chapters? Is it okay if I skip all that and just work on the practice tests? I feel like the chapters does not give me much more than I already know… My score range in math is 680-720.</p>
<p>I’ll tell you want worked for my son…also an 800er. He took those tests regularly. But he also checked to see how he scored AND he read the explanations, particularly the ones he did not get right. Not only got an 800 in SATs, he also got 800 in the SAT II, and I never really thought of him as a math guy.</p>
<p>MasterJan- I think he means finished all the practice tests in BB.</p>
<p>Like I said though, it isn’t just for math.</p>
<p>The free SAT and PSAT Practice tests on the College Board website give you very thorough explanations. Even if you have already taken the PSAT as a junior, the practice test will still be helpful since it is the same type of problems you will see on the SAT. The new practice test should be out soon. If you are a US student you can get a copy of the PSAT, SAT and ACT practice tests from your College Guidance office.</p>
