Raising a math score 100 points (HELP?!)

<p>Is it feasible? I want to go from a 620 to a 720 by the October or November test. If that's unrealistic, what's a more realistic expectation?</p>

<p>What's the best way to cram in a not-so-long time period?</p>

<p>do a lot of practice. As much as you can from now till then and then review your errors.</p>

<p>Is it possible to raise it through 200 scores
???????????/</p>

<p>I practiced with a math test every day and made sure I understood every problem. I went from 600 to 730 in about a month on an official test.</p>

<p>100 points, especially 700-800 range, is usually a matter of careless errors than plain old not knowing the material. if you slow then, and check your work (if you have time), you can surely increase.</p>

<p>200 points- it's a matter of being a careful, and trying out more practice tests to see what your weaknesses are and practice solely those types of questions</p>

<p>it's possible</p>

<p>i got a 660 on the math last time, and i was really dissapointed</p>

<p>so i studied and just did a lot of practice tests, a lot of them</p>

<p>not just in the beginning, but now too, i look at all the quaestions, and make sure i understand multiple ways of doing them, good practice, and then i try and make sure i know the concepts</p>

<p>it's gotten better and although i havent consistantly mastered the section, i have scored an 800 on two occasions (little errors are all that holds me back usually)</p>

<p>btw, for practice, start with the red 2nd a nd 3rd edition 10 real sat's books
theyre still good, not perfect, but good</p>

<p>thats only if you intend on doing more than the blue book plus online course</p>

<p>otherwise, stick with the new test</p>

<p>hope this helps</p>

<p>Raising 100 points is not a bad goal to do unless you're shooting from 700 to 800. If you're in this range, it probably means that you know the most stuffs but tend to make careless mistakes. If you're below that range, I suggest get Barron's or Gruber's and review math topics (geometry, algebra, probability, etc..) thoroughly. Once you have done that, you should be fine.</p>

<p>200 points are totally different issue especially if you're around 500's or 600's. In order to achieve the goal, you must be very careful and familiar with the types of problems.</p>

<p>For instance, if you're given a problem with a quadratic equation, you must immediately know that you'll need to use linear equation or quadratic formula (depending on the time though). Also, building speed will help as well.</p>

<p>I got a 620 on my real SAT for math for the first time.</p>

<p>I'm constantly scoring 720+ now (not a SUPER high 700 score though :-\, yet :-)).</p>

<p>The whole point is that it is feasible. It is very feasible. Just practice, practice, and practice!</p>

<p>Don't give up hope!!!</p>
