<p>I feel like the 5 books(Barron's 2400, Blue Book, PR, etc) I have are just telling me basic math concepts that are for people who don't know what the SAT is. I keep thinking that if I study more, then I won't come across as many questions that I would be stuck on on the hard questions. Obviously these books don't teach you logic, they just give you knowledge and the reasoning is up to you. I want to be prepared for every question possible, but is the best way to study is to ONLY do practice questions instead of studying match concepts? I'm doing both but should I focus completely on practice questions?</p>
<p>^Honestly take as many math practice tests as possible. There are so many different kinds of math problems they can throw at you, so the best way to prepare is experience. practice practice practice.</p>
<p>Also read the problem carefully. Trust me it works, my math score improved by just 50 points because of that.</p>
<p>I know what you mean, a lot of people read questions quickly. But by reading it carefully, I don't want to over analyze the problem, but I know that doing so can help you avoid problems like "What is 2x" when you solve for "X" and immediately bubble that in.</p>
<p>Well, I think the answer to your question is quite simple. Learn the concepts and strategies, and then practice them. If you learn substitution but can't do problems that use a substitution method, can you really say that you know substitution?</p>
