<p>I really want to increase my score to 800. I practice a lot but still my score range 680-690 in SAT Math. This is my last chance to take the SAT so please advice me especially those who scored 800 or near that.</p>
<p>Look I am not the student but I am a Tutor expert in tutoring SAT Math since 1991
I have gotten one of my student 800 and numerous students 790.
Please go over all the problems in which you made a mistake while taking the practice tests and figure out why and what mistake you made and recall not to do it when you actually take the sat.
Finish the blue book
I have lot more tests dating back 1988
Practice and learn all hard problems and learn not to make stupid mistakes Thisnk hard and apply
You will get 800

<p>i'm willing to help...</p>
<p>i got a 670 my first time taking the sat math I...very dissapointed. then i got an 800 the next time (from June, after taking BC Calc to Oct doing AP Stats).</p>
<p>How long does it take you to get all of the problems done? Usually I'm able to finish all but the last few problems in about half the time. Save the last problems for the final time, and keep relentlessly working, even if time's coming up.</p>
<p>i got an 800, u just gotta work carefully. Thats all, and then you'll ace it!</p>
<p>I got an 800 after a 680. After the (I'd say) 680 mark, it's a matter of time and just being 800 material. It did take a lot of work though.</p>
<p>i technically got an 800.... but made a bubbling mistake so i got 770. So my advice to you is double check your work... always.</p>
<p>I think if you have a 680, getting anything higher is getting lucky on the basis that you know how to solve basic problems.</p>
<p>Just take your time. I used to zoom through the math sections, finishing about 8 minutes before everyone else is done and made careless mistakes. Don't let that happen to you. </p>
<p>Good Luck!!!</p>
<p>Thanks. I usually do the easier problems first and the time left usually 10 min to do 3-4 tough questions i couldnt figure out first. I am quick at most but I get stuck with 2-3 tough ones.</p>
<p>Glucose what you said made no sense.</p>
<p>Hey calculus can you tell me how you prepared? I do put in a lot of hours.</p>
<p>Oooh, advice on this would be nice...I do fairly well on math but ALWAYS miss one or two and it's so frustruating. It's tempting to blame on bad luck.</p>
<p>I got an 800. Use Barron's :) and do every single fricking math problem in that book. I was not strong at math b4 doing that, but c wut happened?</p>
<p>thanks. I did a practice test yesterday on the Mc Graw Hill book and got a freakin 670. What is wrong me? Please guys give some math improving techniques to get tht 800 scale.</p>
<p>azsxdc--u've used barron's 2400 right?</p>
<p>Many of the errors come from reading the questions. If you're too eager, you'll answer the wrong question (they might be looking for distance instead of rate) or mix up an inequality because you missed a word in the question. So just make sure you read the questions very carefully.</p>
<p>You need to check EVERY single easy question rather than spend too much time on the hard questions. For awhile, I was stuck on 700 Math, with always making 3-5 stupid mistakes. The most recent time I took it, in December, I checked all my answers and found the 3-5 stupid mistakes (many of them were "easy" questions) and corrected them. I got an 800.</p>
<p>I HATE Barron's. I guess I got an 800 in math after using it (got 760, then 770 the first two times) but I used it extensively for reading and writing (not so much math) and those scores dropped a total of 110 points. It's so annoying too, its like "2400 club members do this, but not that..." Well apparently I'm nowhere near club member status.</p>
<p>Sorry about that little rant, but to answer your question, I'd say that just keep doing practice tests. The material isn't hard, it just allows you to make easy mistakes. And if you get a 750 or above, I really don't think it matters that much, just that some people happened to not make any stupid mistakes on test day.</p>
<p>Like the others have said, work carefully! Here's some of my tips:
1. As you work through the problems, circle the correct answer in your test booklet. Bubble your answers in in blocks. If you get stuck on one, mark it and skip it (make sure not to make a mistake on your answer sheet though!)
2. When you finish, go back and make sure the answers in your test booklet match the answers on your answer sheet. Also do the questions you skipped.
3. After step 2, go through and check each question, starting with the first. Reread each question carefully.
4. Go through your previous tests, and work through every single problem you missed or had trouble with. SAT math problems are very predictable and the same ones tend to show up over and over again.</p>
<p>when I took it last time (freshman in high school) I got a 750 in math so I think I could help. What I really felt to be the problem was the “dumb mistakes” that I always seemed to make. It’s always tricky, and while you may know exactly how to do a problem, you may not always have done it perfectly right. Wrong answer choices are carefully picked out. Therefore, just find ways to do easy questions with a 100% success rate. I came out of my past SAT math score (680) thinking I had a full 800 but found out that I had made a ton of mistakes. But, after just a little more practice and getting more oriented, I felt more comfortable and that really helped.</p>
