<p>I dont know what is happening to me when I take the test, last sunday I took a diag test at princeton review, i got 640 m, 570 cr, 630 writing 10 on essay, but I dont understand what I am doing wrong in math, well I do when i get the results back, but when I take the test I dont know what is happening. For math, I really didnt know how to do 3 problems, but i made 9 mistakes! When I got the test back today I realised the mistakes I made in an instant, but when I am taking the real test its like I cannot comprehend what is going on! Please help i really need 700+ on math!!! Should I be doing a section a day for math and verbal to increase my score, may from 11 practice tests? Please help me!</p>
<p>there are certain "tricks" the SAT will use alot. Just learn them, and be able to recognize them. I had a smiliar problem when I took the SAT the first time. I just did tons of math problems and I ended up maxing out on the math. So just do alot of math practice. and get really comfortable with it. Also, make sure to double check your answers if you have time</p>
<p>sigh ok, I will try to do that, i guess i am not really acustomed to the tricks, well actually could you list a few tricks to see if i know them?</p>
<p>um...geez...the SAT will reuse the same principles throughout the test; these are mainly on the geometry section. So know principles of angles and such. i cant really think of any off the top of my head right now. One such principle is that the max length of a hypotenuse is one less than the total length of the other 2 sides of the triangle.</p>
