<p>So hey guys. fellow CCers. Anyways, I took my first practice SAT in January. I got a 580CR, 670M, and an appx. 620W. Since then, I have done some light prep: 5 PR tests, only reviewing wrong answers. I have taken 2 BB tests now and my latest scores are 710M, 680CR, 45MC for Writing; (A range of 670-740, depending on essay score.)</p>
<p>My worry is that while I have improved 100 pts for CR, and 100+ points for W, why is it that I have hardly had any improvement in Math? 670-710 is a small jump. I still get the same amount wrong (usually 5-7). In CR; however, I used to get 10-15+ wrong, and now I get less than or equal to 10 wrong. In Writing, I had a dip in between, where I was getting like 15 wrong and unsure about many, but now i get just 3-5 wrong. Is it that PR's math was not adequate preparation, or did I not out enough effort into Math? I am a rising sophomore, if it helps you. </p>
<p>Thanks! And just out of curiosity, does anyone have any advice for going from 700s to consistent 770+s in Math? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!</p>
<p>Review all concepts (school notes, Barrons book, Princeton maybe as well).</p>
<p>Keep taking practice tests and going over all math mistakes, addressing weak areas and learning why you got each problem wrong. Fix weak areas by going over concepts in book or Khan Academy (search the site on Google). Also, both the College Board site and Khan Academy have explanations for all the math problems in the CB book, so go over any questions you were unsure about, left blank, or got wrong.</p>
<p>Keep studying concepts you’re weak in every day and getting tons of practice. I also suggest not using plug-in, backsolve, etc, and using math instead, unless you can’t figure out a problem mathematically, or if it’s too time consuming mathematically.</p>
<p>I got an 800 on the math section, so that’s my advice.</p>
<p>The reason is because a 710 in math is probably on like 3-4 wrong. So, as you can see, it’s easier to improve from scores that were relatively low to begin with.</p>
