I seriously suck at math. help please.

Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
1

<p>I used to be good at math. I got into pre-algebra (8th grade math) entering middle school.</p>

<p>but for some reaosn i just grew to hate the subject. i got A's my first two years of high school but then this year i got a B- and C+ in Pre-Cal/Trig</p>

<p>I'm taking summer school right now. i didn't really try during the school year because i had som uch hoewmork for other classes i jsut gave up on math.</p>

<p>but yea. I took the SATs and i got a 1950 and my math wasn't too low compared to writing and reading but i took the SAT II's Math IIC and i got like 560 or something obscenely low like that. I took ti without studying but now i see that i do need to study or i won't be able to get a high score (cause i got teh 1950 without studying for the SAT I)</p>

<p>anyways, is there any way to easily prepare for the math SATII? i have the kaplan book but i don't know what an efficient way to study it is.</p>

<p>also i took the SAT I in june and i had a big project due the previous day which ih ad to stay up until 5 o'clock to do and i ended up dozing off during a section or two. i kept tyring to stay awake but i couldn't so i wasted 42 bucks on that test too. damnit.</p>

<p>PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE.Thats the ONLY way to master SAT math. And after you're done PRACTICING hundreds of problems take a couple of PRACTICE tests(time yourself just as the proctor would when you take the actual test).so yeah dude- PRACTICE</p>

<p>a) don't sign up for a test if you're not gonna finish all the sections</p>

<p>I know that projects come up, but if you know that you had the SAT and that staying up that late would affect you, you should've done it earlier.</p>

<p>b) practice if you really want it bad</p>

<p>caa5042 hit it on the money though, <b>PRACTICE</b>. You say that you didn't study for the SAT; well maybe you should if you want to improve in math like you say you do.</p>

<p>practice makes perfect =)</p>

<p>i'm not so sure about that i practiced my a** off consistently for math weeks before the SAT, never once looked at reading and writing, and ended up going from a 680 to a 770 on reading, got a 780 on writing, and ONCE AGAIN got a 670 on math. I think some people seriously just suck at taking the SAT math.</p>

<p>Practice should be accompanied by mastering the concept or at least understanding the way the answer was achieved.</p>
