<p>I did not study enough for my last SAT and i had a horrible teacher for geometry and i did not understand anything and did bad in the class. Therefore i got a 460 in my first SAT math. i am taking them again in october and i have a private tutor once a week who with the Barron SAT Math workbook is helping me learn and review everything. I have two months untill the next SAT. I am planning on studying and practicing everyday with and without the tutor. DO you think it is possible to raise my score 200 points?</p>
<p>sure. You can raise your SAT score by hard work. A lot of people do it. A 600 in the SAT can be obtained by using your calculator wisely. Don't worry, just work hard.</p>
<p>But I'd advise you to use more than just the Barrons book. Princeton Review and Kaplan's 2400 ones have good strategy too. Do the question of the day from Collegeboard every day. Also, this website has good advice...probably close the the best you can get

<p>biax, keep your head up. you can bring a score of 460 into the 600 range</p>
<p>if i did it, you definitely can too</p>
<p>thank you!! im stressing so much about it.. for the person who was able to raise it? if you dont mind me asking how much did you raise it by? and do you or anyone have any good advice on what i should do and study to make sure i make it in the 600's</p>
<p>thank you!!</p>
<p>practice from the blue book and use the barron's book... when you get an answer wrong, write the exact problem down in a notebook. the week before the test, go back and review your mistakes so you won't get those problems wrong again</p>
<p>^^^ yup that's basically what i did. practice frm the blue book esp. during the weeks before the test. i had a 610 math score for the 1st time on the sat...did the blue book and got an 800!</p>
<p>you'll be fine! good luck</p>
<p>thank youu!!</p>
<p>What do you mean by "the blue book?"</p>
<p>your goals are very realistic and perfectly attainable. Just keep studying and don't ever doubt yourself. That way, you won't lose concentration to worrying and doubting. So basically jsut bury your head in some math books, and maybe even invest in a good geometry textbook (I recommend Geometry textbooks by Ron Larson), and keep practicing.</p>
<p>i would also like to know what is the "blue book"</p>
<p>It's the official study guide published by College Board.</p>
<p>It contains 8 practice tests.</p>
<p>I think you can achieve it, but you MUST work very hard. It's not hard to raise one's math score by 100 points, but it's a tall order to ask for 200 points. Get all the books you can on the subject: Official SAT Study Guide, RocketReview (which offer some good math strategies), Barron's Math Workbook, Gruber's (which contain some challenging math questions), and Barron's and/or Kaplan's SAT 2400. (You already have the Barron's Math Workbook, which is excellent for math practice. A 660 won't come overnight, but given enough hard work, sweat, and determination, I believe you can attain it. Good luck!</p>
<p>It is quite possible to raise your Math score to 150 to 200 points specially you scored only 460, but I was wondering how were your grades in Geometry, Alg 1 and 2 ? If they were average level then it is possible otherwise you must learn the basics first and then try to take the SAT test at home then analyze what problems you got wrong and learn why and what mistakes you did then do some more similar problems practice and then take the test again keep this process going and youre score will go up as you go along.
There is book published by McGraw Hills "Conquering the SAT Math" has very organised chapters on different topics with practice problems. Finish that book and take all the tests 8 of them from the Blue Book and you will get 650 or so
