<p>So Math has been by far the best subject of mine my whole life. I have never gotten lower than an A+ except for one time when i just didn't care, and even then i still got an A.
I have been preparing for the SAT a bit now(rising sophomore) and noticed that i have had trouble with the math. I understand how the SAT is more of a test of logic and reasoning, and I am completely baffled that I have not been doing well since my forte is actually figuring out out of the box ways to figure out math problems quickly and efficiently. </p>

<p>I understand that this question has been asked before but i need some slightly different and more updated answers.
What is the best SAT math book for STRATEGIES at attacking problems, especially the hard ones?
I already have Dr. Chungs and well I find the tips have too much jargon and it is just overall difficult to learn.
And please don't confuse my inability to learn Dr. Chungs with lack of hard work, because I can definitely tell you that is not the case.
Also, I understand that practicing is the best way to increase my score, but this post is about learning how to solve sat math problems.
So just to sum it up quickly what is the best sat math book for Strategies, not practice tests, for going about problems?</p>

<p>Sorry if this post is confusing. If there are any clarification questions, please ask, and I will be happy to answer them.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>as far as “strategies” go, there really is no substitute for practice.
since the SAT has recurring topics throughout the math section, the more practice you do, the faster you’ll be able to go through the test.</p>

<p>Make sure you understand all the topics on the test. I used the Chung’s book and found it to be fairly helpful. The tips may be hard to understand, but once you do understand them they’re pretty helpful.</p>
