SAT Math... getting a high score?

<p>How does everyone seem to get 800s on the M? I'm 2300+ hopeful for Oct 4 and fine in Writing and CR, but I always screw up the Math on each test and obviously need to get 750+. Im a junior in calc ab so i technically know all of the material (and I've bought review books and gotten nothing after reading their math tutorials/advice), but for some reason I keep getting around 700 on each test I take. And I know the problem is not volume either - I've exhausted all the tests in the blue book and online.</p>

<p>Any advice at all would be extremely helpful + is v. appreciated.</p>

<p>what type of Qs did u miss??? if u know all the concepts, the only advice like i always give is to slow down,and pace urself, read the Q 2x make sure u answer the Q... this is to prevent stupid mistakes, on which probs did u get wrong? easy? hard? u hav prob if u get stuck on #18 ish~~~</p>

<p>normally i get a careless one wrong in the teens and then one or both of the hard ones wrong in each section. i know i can't have the careless stuff. im not really sure if im missing a particular type of question, it just seems like different stuff each time. </p>

<p>not sure if sleep has anything to do w/ it, since on 2 online tests (b4 school started) i got 750-770 and 740-780 range. but the recent ones ive taken on weekends when ive been really tired i've gotten below/around 700. dont have school tma so im gonna take the official psat practice test and see what i get on good sleep.</p>

<p>Yeah.. easiest thing to do is first eliminate any mistake before the hard questions (last 3 or so before the end). That's the easy part. You really have to take into account getting 1-3 hard problems on test day that you just, for some odd reason, just can't solve at that time. With that in mind, you HAVE to get all the other ones-which you can definitely solve-right, without any careless mistakes. </p>

<p>As for the hard quesitons, right down each one you have ever gotten wrong and try to notice a correlation or atleast have them written somewhere for a final review before the test.</p>
