<p>I am scheduled to take the PSAT in the fall. I will take Geometry but not take Algebra II until the following year? Will this hurt my chances of doing well on the PSAT/SAT?
Math is not my strong area so I'm on a slower math track. My school will allow me to take Geometry and Algebra II at the same time this fall, but I'm not certain that I can handle both.
Do I really need Algebra II to do well on the PSAT/SAT?
Next summer I will take a Testmaster's Review course. This summer I am taking a non-credit Geometry course. The material is easy to understand, but the tests are difficult for me.
Can you advise me?</p>

<p>YES. maybe not totally, b/c the SAT can be taught. but a big chunk of it is Alg.II.</p>
<p>Thanks for confirming what I already suspected. Is there a good way to prepare for the math portion of the SAT when you are not mathematically inclined?</p>
<p>barron's math work book </p>
<p>or</p>
<p>gruber's math work book</p>
<p>these are the two best SAT math books out.</p>
