<p>I am taking the sats in june for the first time. For many years i have struggled in math but i feel its not as bad as it use to be. I own a second ed blue book and have been trying to work in that. I would really appreciate if i could get some advice on overcoming this and perform well on the sats. Reading and writing are strengths of mine so i dont think ill really have a problem on those sections. I am aiming for a 600-750 on all sections. Thank you so much for your help in advance.</p>
<p>Practice is probably the best approach. I’m pretty sure the 2nd edition has online explanations to it, so practice the math portions, review your answers, and if you are not sure go check online to see how to attempt the problem. Since the same questions tend to be repeated each year, practice will give you mastery in the basic foundation of a problem.
For a more mentored approach, Gruber’s math workbook is incredible to scoring a high score, but I still believe the best thing to do is practice.</p>
<p>Yes, practice, of course, but make sure you remain focused on identifying your weak areas, so that you can concentrate your practice and see the best results. Right now you’re saying that math is a weakness. You should be trying to get to a point where you can say something much more specific, like “function questions are a weakness” or “special right triangles give me trouble.”</p>
<p>When you have that level of understanding of your weaknesses, you’re much more likely to improve your score a great deal.</p>
