Math section

Test Preparation
1

<p>My math is the lowest of my sections. I've taken it twice already and my best scores are:
CR: 610
Math:590
writing: 710</p>

<p>I did not prepare AT ALL for either SAT date. This time (Oct.) I want to prepare for math. If I use a book (like princeton), approximately how much could I expect to see my score rise? I want to get into UNC, and the bottom of the middle 50% range is 610. </p>

<p>Also, if I bomb the CR & writing sections in October due to boredom (maybe not bomb, but get a lot lower), would this adversely affect the way colleges look at my scores, or would they strictly see the best? I've sent both sets to UNC already.</p>

<p>I honestly don't know why my math score is so low...I enjoy math and I thought the test was extremely easy, but I guess I messed up a lot both times.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Don’t use Princeton, get the Official Collegeboard SAT Study Guide, also called the Blue Book. You could raise your score 100-200 points from just doing old SAT’s and seeing explanations on the questions you missed. For SAT Math use Gruber’s Math Workbook, it has really clear explanantions.</p>
