<p>This question is from someone who can usually get all of the simple questions and trips up on the harder ones. (and by hard I mean the Difficult ones the CB uses). And when I say trip up I mean get 2 wrong across the entire math part. </p>
<p>The Math section is somewhere I'd like to improve.
I only seem to miss the Hard questions in each section. I can usually do all the problems on a SAT test, just I seem to make mistakes with math. </p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Well, they’re the hardest questions for a reason. Try not being quite as mathy as you’ve been…see if plugging in works on a really tough algebra question (SOOOOOO many #20’s are plug-ins, for whatever reason), or whether you can use guesstimate to eliminate silly answers if you’ve got a figure drawn to scale. </p>
<p>There’s no shame in switching gears and simplifying a difficult question…all that matters is what you bubble, not how you figure it out.</p>
<p>Yeah. I don’t usually miss algebra. It’s the odd cubes and the (N+1)/multi level problems. </p>
<p>My best hope: luck 
Thanks!</p>
<p>sorry to bump this, but I saw this old thread and recently got my SAT results : 800 in the math section. I just was relaxed confident, and aware that there are tricks and that I need to watch out for them Thats my advice, Sleep and as long as you can get only -1 to -3 because of stupid mistakes, just relax and be cautious.</p>
