How can I get 800s on both SAT math level 1 + 2?

<p>I have read the Princeton Review for the SAT II and gone over it about 2 times. Currently, my score on the practice tests are:</p>

<p>Math 1: 730
Math 2: 750</p>

<p>How can I improve both to 800?</p>

<p>Someone I talked to scored 740 and 760 (Math IIC) on the two practice tests and received an 800 on the actual test. Most practice tests are more difficult than the actual test. I would say to grab other practice tests (keep practicing) and get mid to upper 700s to guarantee an 800 on the actual test (Barron's comes to mind). No idea about math 1.</p>

<p>If you can get 750 on the Math 2 practice in PR, you should have 800 on the actual one, since you can skip about 6 questions and still get 800 on the real test.</p>

<p>I believe there's a book on amazon called "15 realistic tests for the SAT math IIC." Obviously you know the material well, it's just a matter of polishing your problem solving skills. The best thing you can do to prepare for any math test is to do problems, so IMO get that book and do as many tests as you can. Also note the difficulty lvl of the practice tests - as procrastination said, the SAT test is usually not as difficult as the practice ones.</p>

<p>MathII was really easy for me. Depending on the book, practice tests may not be that accurate. On Barrons (which is notorious for this), my practice tests were in the low 600's and falling, but ended up with an 800 on the real deal. Was almost going to cancel too. with my practice tests. On the actual test, I had to check multiple times that I wasn't doing MathI.</p>

<p>Memorize what SparkNotes has to say for Math II, and you'll do well. Other than that, answer plenty of practice questions</p>

<p>I scored something like a 690 on the PR Math IIC practice and got an 800 on the actual. The curve on it is really good, cause I left 4 questions blank, and likely missed a few of the ones that I answered</p>

<p>Math IC will be a lot harder to get an 800 though, since the curve is almost non-existant.</p>

<p>"since the curve is almost non-existant."</p>

<p>It does not exist.
50 - 800
49 - 790/780
48 - 780/770
et cetera</p>
