Just cant get 800 in Math!!!!!

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Math scores all around 780, 790, 760, but never reach full score! Usually mistakes stem from carelessness, but however focused I am I just cant get 800. Does anyone have similar experience or helpful advice?</p>

2

<p>I did the practice test and got 590 for math …</p>

3

<p>my sis is like you but finally she got 800 in Math</p>

4

<p>Hope I can get it too.</p>

5

<p>thx! u r definitely getting higher scores!:slight_smile:
but it is truly upsetting bc I actually know how to do them.</p>

6

<p>it may be lack of either carefulness or luck.</p>

7

<p>^
or maybe lack of particular concepts! OP, make sure that you know all tricks!</p>

<p>My only advice is that it’s pretty much luck, I would say. My first time, no prep, I got an 800. I was just lucky that there were no questions that tripped me up or were worded so oddly that I interpreted them wrong. In the only practice section I’ve done, I got one wrong. I really don’t think colleges will see an 800 too different then your high 700. At least I wouldn’t.</p>

<p>If one can handle all Barron’s math or even understand how it should be done, I think that he or she might get a 800. Right?</p>

10

<p>never got an 800 on my practice tests. always got 700’s.</p>

<p>got an 800 on the real thing, so yeah.</p>

<p>the day of the exam, you should be more focused than you are while taking practice tests</p>

<p>story of my life</p>

12

<p>Yes! I am excellent at math and I have gotten 100s in every math course I have taken. But then I take the SAT and get a 700 or something low. And I’ll go back and look at what I did and see that I did all this complex math perfectly and then missed the question by accidentally saying that 3*3 is 18 or something stupid like that.</p>

13

<p>it does not make too much different if i only look at math score indeed. but the overall scores can be largely affected. 100 points is not small when it comes to overalls. but thx!</p>

14

<p>exactly. today i took the left 10 min to check my answers and i got a 800.:)</p>

15

<p>lol
good luck!!!</p>

16

<p>yeah. chinese students take much higher level of math courses, so it would be sort of embarrassing to lose points in math tests…</p>
