<p>Hi CC, I'm a rising high school senior aiming for a 2100+ on the October SAT!</p>

<p>I took my first real SAT in june and got a 2000, breakdown 720 CR 700 W 580 M</p>

<p>My math score is really bringing me down. According to the collegeboard breakdown, my biggest problems were in Algebra and Geometry (I feel stupid lol). I went through all the blue book tests and tried to look up the answers to questions I didn't know but still had difficultly. I also frequently run out of time on the math sections.
I'm considering retaking the blue book exams and trying to study differently. Are there any other books i can use/ways I can improve greatly on the math sections? Any suggestions on how I can get my math score up mainly, and/or improve in the other sections as well?</p>

<p>Extra info: I am a Latina student from a Catholic school in NY. Undecided major, but leaning towards english/journalism or law/political science. Nothing math related haha. Took the US History Sat II in may, got a 730. Planning to take 2 more in November. My dream school is Cornell.</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>If you have gaps in the math section (e.g. trouble with factoring a quadratic or cubic polynomial) I suggest you learn/relearn them from a regular textbook/online instead of an SAT preparation book. Taking too many practice tests won’t really help.</p>
