<p>These helped me the most… they are very inspirational too. XD
And for the zillionth time, my own story with Math. It is the only I feel I can help ppl through</p>
<p>I read AAALL of the Barron’s book (normal one and 2400) explanation… HELPS A MILLION! to introduce yourself and all… then I made sure I understand EVERY SINGLE QUESTION I GOT WRONG… I found that the harder Math problems I got used to solving, the sillier this test looked to me and, in turn, the more confident I got to ace it…</p>
<p>As for practice… WOOOOW…
i took some practice tests from Barron’s (most of them I guess)
some from Mcgrawhill’s 12
the grand mixture from barron’s 2400
all of bluebook’s tests
most of online course’s tests</p>
<p>and after all this, I got an 800 in Math in only one test from online course… I was ecstatic… Then…</p>
<p>I sc@#%WED up on Nov12 and only increased that 20 points or sth … don’t really remember…</p>
<p>then… I got demoralized for some loooong while… and practically suffered from depression…</p>
<p>But then i realized, it’s either 2000+ at least, or no college for me! I got my ass up and started practicing like CRAZY… although it was only 3 weeks away (two of which were term exam weeks in my country, the third was vacation), I practiced in every day off that I was supposed to study for term exams in. lol</p>
<p>I tried to practice as much as possible… I knew i screwd up in Nov only cuz in the first math section i got (sadly sec 2… THE FIRST SECTION after essay) i didn’t have time to complete the last 2 questions so I just freaked out! I was thinking of how to go back to those ques throughout the whole test because i was devastated that i may not get that divine “800”… and guess where that got me… -_- … I screwd up the other secs too in turn!</p>
<p>So i took most of the past tests that I could find, Couldn’t finish them all… I came here to post all the questions I had (and didn’t let the “omg i got 2330. such a bad score” morons get under ma skin… ._.)… I got loads of help…</p>
<p>and by the time the Jan exam came,
i felt more CONFIDENT. this is the magic word… more practice makes you better at solving mostly cuz you get more acquainted with the test… and in turn, more confident.</p>
<p>It did help that Jan’s Math sec was reaally easy… But the curve was ^%%#2</p>
<p>One mistake= 770!!! srsly!</p>
<p>So I hope this helps…</p>
<p>btw I had A TON PRACTICE BOOKS… like kaplan and bla bla bla…</p>
<p>But I listed the most important Math wise for me…
Again they are:</p>
<p>Barron’s (both)
McGrawHill’s (normal one and 12 for practice)
BLUE BOOK!
ONLINE COURSE!
as many past tests as possible…</p>
<p>I will make sure to update my post if anything else comes in my mind</p>
<p>Hope that helps!
Wish you ease and success if God may… XD</p>
<p>And as for CR, READ READ READ CR passages everyday! And memorize as many words as possible.
I only got a 620, but that’s what I did… </p>
<p>Hope that helps XD</p>
<p>thank u :D</p>
