<p>OK, so I was working with the Kaplan math workbook. It has exercises all on topics like Algebra, Percents, etc. I usually missed one or two on each exercise. And then, I worked on Logic Word Problems, and guess what? I missed them all! 0/9 Pfft. Besides reading the explanations, what can I do? Play chess?</p>
<p>That's a good question. What sort of stuff was asked in the questions you missed?</p>

<p>Just word problems involving probability and counting. Say, Jam and Jim are waiting in line. If Jam is seventh in line, and there are n people ahead of Jim, where n>7, how many people are between them? It's confusing.</p>
<p>Read the problem carefully, and write out a series of statements of fact that you know to be true. Work from there.</p>
<p>Premises? I'll try it.</p>
<p>what is the anwer of that problem?</p>
<p>When you're reading the questions, try understanding them in small chunks...one sentence, or half a sentence at a time. Try writing down numbers that would fit the problem, even if there are no numbers given (the old Princeton Review plugging in technique) or try using the answer choices and working backwards from them, seeing if they fit the problem.</p>
<p>But most important is understanding the question itself...that's half the SAT Math battle right there.</p>
