<p>I recently received my PSAT scores, which were as follows:</p>
<p>-CR: 80
-Writing: 68
-Math: 54</p>
<p>I am terrified of my math skills because I STUDIED MUCH HARDER FOR MATH! I combed through 3 books and filled out half a notebook, whereas for reading I just literally filled 4 wide ruled pieces of paper with vocab...over a year. </p>
<p>ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR RAISING MY SCORES IN MATH?</p>
<p>As you may have noticed with your critical reading abilities, much of the SAT is about a life long dedication to academics. Or at least in my naive opinion. </p>
<p>Although the writing section seems to be the most “coachable”, the other two sections, reading and math, seem to be multifaceted tests. They measure the student’s ability to sit for prolonged time periods, think critically and really apply what the student has learned throughout A LIFE TIME. </p>
<p>I’m guessing you read a lot of books? If not, you must be a really talented test taker.
To get to my point, there is no single pathway that one can take to ace the SAT. The reading and math portion of the tests are designed so that short periods of cramming will not be awarded. All you can really do is review what you have learned throughout high school and take as many practice tests as possible.</p>
