<p>I am aiming for an 800 and I can barely finish 44/50 questions. This is not because I don't know how to answer those missed questions, I can do them correctly after my hour is up, but I cannot seem to squeeze them into the time limit. </p>
<p>I have been studying with princeton's review book. I read through the entire book, every word (except the math1 practice tests and answers), but when I took the 2 practice tests I could not finish. I also have the Kaplan review book, the questions are easier so I can just barely make an 800 but I still cannot finish all the questions, what should I do?</p>
<p>For the Princeton review tests I completed 43 questions on the first practice test and 44 questions on the second practice test. I can complete approx 46 questions on the Kaplan tests. I also took the subject tests once before, without doing much (if any) prep, just to see where I was at and because I had the time. I finished 42 questions and got a 760, so I'm assuming I got 2 questions wrong. Which reminds me, I normally get 1-3 questions wrong because I make silly mistakes (like circling one answer on my sheet but filling in the wrong circle on my answer sheet, or looking at the x value of a coordinate on my GDC instead of the y value.) that could be fixed if I had time to check over my work, but I don't.</p>
<p>I read over the answers and the tips Princeton review gives but they aren't any good for helping me work faster, instead they seem to just tell me how I could solve the problem if I didn't actually know how to do the math (and I think I know how to do the math already, I just want to know how to do it faster). Actually if anything some of there methods are much slower. So what should I do?</p>
<p>Also I have heard that retaking the test isn't going to do much for your score, but I figured that was because the people in question had prepared for their first test. Am I preparing in the wrong manner or is it normal that I don't seem to be getting any better?</p>
<p>Edit: If there is anything in the review book that has actually been useful it would be that it reminded me that you could solve systems of equations by adding or subtracting the equations (I haven't gotten any easy problems like that since grade 9 so before reading that I would isolate a variable and substitute one equation into the other, which often takes longer). So if anyone has any tips like that I would appreciate it :D or if you could recommend a book which would help me work faster that would be nice :) or even just recommend a book that doesn't assume you are trying for a score of ~600.</p>
