<p>I have 2 SAT I math books and have solved several problems. </p>
<p>However, I was wondering if there are any good strategies for remembering what NOT to do when you get a question wrong? </p>
<p>And, how difficult is it to get to the point where you make few mistakes in solving SAT I math problems? (I know this differs from person to person, but just asking in general...)</p>
<p>Any help would be appreciated!</p>
<p>It will be different for everyone.</p>
<p>Getting to the point where you don’t make mistakes might only be difficult in the sense that you have to have the perseverance to practice. For the test, I am a fan of common sense checks-- does your answer make sense-- consider order of magnitude, plus and minus signs, that type of thing. You can also work problems backwards if you have time. A lot of mistakes can be caught with simple checks.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>Practice. Practice. Practice.</p>
<p>@VandyEng2014: Thank you for the great advice! I’ll definately try some of those strategies on practice tests and the actual SAT!</p>
<p>@WishOnAirplanes: Haha, yes! Hopefully this coming week after winter break isn’t too rough… I’m going to want to practice a lot more.</p>
<p>Note: always read the question carefully 
It’s very easy to make silly mistakes in math</p>
<p>Honestly, the only way to not make mistakes is to check for them. I got an 800 on SAT math and Math II, and I still religiously check my answers. I also write out all of the steps so I see what I’m doing so I don’t get lost. So focus and take the questions slowly, and you’ll do well. Better to spend 2 minutes on a problem then race through it in 1, checking it again later for 1, getting lost for 1, and re-solving it for 2.</p>
<p>@jsungoh: Very true! Thanks for the tip! </p>
<p>@CHiLLaXiN: That’s very impressive! Hopefully I’ll be able to score in the high 700s-800 range through enough practice. Thank you for the awesome advice!</p>
