<p>How would i go about improving math scores.. Try to omit more or get more right? I would think the latter. But how do i improve my skills? </p>

<p>I want to raise my scores by 60 points (520 in nov to 600) by the December SAT. I'm just lost cause i dont have a plan to go about doing it!</p>

<p>Here are my stats for a practice math section i did--</p>

<p>section(Total questions)___<em>Number right</em><em>-</em><strong>Number wrong _=</strong><em>Raw Score
4(8 questions)</em>____________<strong><em>5</em></strong>__ -<strong><em>(.25 x 2)</em></strong><strong><em>=</em></strong><em>4.5
2(10 questions)FILL IN</em>______<strong><em>6</em></strong>__ -<em>(no wrong penalty)</em><em>=</em><strong><em>6
5(20 Questions)</em></strong>___________<strong><em>10</em></strong><strong><em>- _</em></strong>(.25 x 5)_<strong><em>=</em></strong><em>8.75
8(16 questions)</em>__________<strong><em>10</em></strong><strong><em>- _</em></strong>(.25 x 4)_<strong><em>=</em></strong>9
Raw Total=29=530</p>

<p>Goal
Raw= 38=600</p>

<p>Is it doable?</p>

<p>Usually with math it's (a) certain topic(s) that mess you up, so look at the problems you got wrong and try to find a pattern.</p>

<p>Thats what i was thinking actually. I did notice that my worse math section was section five. If i omitted three less and got five more right i'd be in a good. its ambitious, i know</p>

<p>Does anyone know what topics are covered in this section? or do the topics vary depending on the test?</p>

<p>Lol a good start would be:</p>

<p>600-520 = 80</p>

<p>not 60</p>

5

<p>lol sorry i mistyped that </p>

<p>i knew it was 80! :)</p>

<p>Well that explains the math...
Just joking! :P
Keep doing problems and I'm sure you'll even be able to get into the 700s range. SAT 1 reasoning math is pretty dam simple stuff.</p>

<p>I had a feeling that joke was coming!! lol I was surprise no1 said that before actually</p>

<p>i would be extremely happy with a 600 let alone a 700... perhaps i should have studied for months instead of weeks. its too late now tho </p>

<p>I took the Huntington SAT course actually. it didnt help as much as i hoped it would :/</p>
