<p>What is the trick in raising your math score and doing a good job?</p>
<p>I want at least a 700 in math, and no matter how many practice tests I do, the
math section always brings me down!</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP!!!</p>
<p>I was the same way.
Went from a 620 to a 670 to a 640. Never attained that all important 700. </p>
<p>Thankfully, most people say math is the easiest to improve in. Definitely do the practice tests provided by the collegeboard, and search google for sites like erikthered.com, where you can find tips and useful formulas.</p>
<p>Thanks alot! I’m going to use that site :)</p>
<p>There is no trick. It’s called hard-work, determination, smart effort, and practice.</p>
<p>I went from 600~ on practice tests, to a 670 on my first SAT trial to an 800 on my second trial.</p>
<p>Its about figuring about what the SAT asks a lot of and then noticing what you miss. I was terrible at geometry. I studied geometry (Along with various other formulas) and my score went from a 610 to a 720.</p>

<p>This! Once you know the basic math formulas/concepts, the Math section is honestly about taking a lot of practice tests. Get used to the questions and at some point they’ll start becoming easy. Math was my worst section when I started (mid 600s) but after taking ~20 practice tests from different sources (BB, Online Course, Barron’s, Dr. Chung’s) I improved to consistently missing one (due to carelessness) to none.</p>
<p>EDIT: You say you’re taking a lot of practice tests already. Well make sure you review what you got wrong thoroughly after the test. As in, you shouldn’t miss a question like that again. If it’s a BB/Online Course test make sure to look up the answers on the SAT official website so you can see how they think. It’s also good if you can track what kinds of questions you are consistently missing and perhaps do some extra practice in that area.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice guys!</p>
<p>Im an 800 math score here. I basically took about 15 SATs and opened my eyes to the tricky questions. It is important to realize that pinpointing the tricky questions is half of the battle. Do practice tests, learn your calculator really well, work fast, and pray that it is easy compared to the other ones you took. Getting the easy ones right is a must for a 700 plus as well.</p>
<p>Do math competitions. 800x3. lol.</p>
