<p>The one thing my friend’s did to improve their math to a 700 atleast is just taking a lot of practice tests. The SAT has a lot of problems that are similar from the practice tests to the real test. After they took the practice test, the explanations really helped them learn what they did wrong and how to approach a problem like that. When they took the real SAT, a lot of the problems they saw were on the actual test, so they did really well. For me, I always thought the math was pretty easy, it’s all just basic geometry or algebra, but some of the harder problems are just worded in a complicated way to try to test your ability. So, instead of spending a lot of money on a course like Kaplan, ask your daughter to take some practice tests and see where she needs to improve and then answer those kinds of questions on other practice tests and soon she will start understanding it and should easily get a 700 or over. If she doesn’t, the ACT math is a little bit easier in my opinion just because they’re less tricky words or complicated sentences that are on the SAT. Hope this somewhat helps, since this is coming from a high school junior as well.</p>
<p>Thanks for the tips - She does have the blue book and I subscribed to the collegeboard.com course - time for her to do all the practice tests (didn’t know it expires after 4 months though). Hopefully her scores will improve.</p>
<p>Anyone else think their writing score was horribly flawed? No way mine was 500 :x</p>
<p>I heard the SAT subject tests come at 2am PST. Is this right?</p>
