SAT Math

<p>On the practice tests that I have taken, I have gotten scores of 700+ on the Writing and Reading sections. However, y math scores are really holding me back, ranging from 550-650. I have gone through the PWN the SAT math workbook, and I have found it helpful, but it doesn't seem to have been enough. I also always run out of time. Omitting 3-4 questions per section is typical, on top of the 1-3 questions I get incorrect (per section).</p>

<p>I have been carefully analyzing and re-doing the questions I get wrong and omitted. I re-write the question in a notebook along with the answers, and I solve through them with the online answer solutions. Is this enough to improve my score? I also have the Barron's SAT Math workbook- would you recommend I go through that as well?</p>

<p>The SAT is less than 2 weeks away, and I am aiming for a score of 2100+. I have been studying throughout the year, but only about 3-4 hours a week. However, I have been studying 5+ hours a day for it recently (I have already finished the school year). I'm a sophomore, and my PSAT score was 184. Is a 2100 realistic, especially with my egregious math scores?</p>

<p>I’m hearing that Gruber’s is good. </p>

<p>My brand of choice is Dr. John Chung’s. </p>

<p>Go to SATQuantum dot com.
Video answers to every CB math question from every CB test in public domain.
Barrons Math is very good. Go through that. No need to buy anymore workbooks/studyguides.</p>

<p>^^If you go through the SAT book thread in the SAT prep forum you’ll see a lot of terrible reviews on Dr. Chung.</p>

<p>Why are you taking the SAT as a sophomore to begin with?
You have the whole summer to study and take the October test.
I’m the parent that doesn’t believe in superscore as I believe the colleges want to see trends or average the scores.
You don’t get bonus points from an college admissions because you took the test as a sophomore.
smh if your guidance counselor recommended, then that gc should be fired.</p>

<p>^Tell us how you really feel</p>

<p>I like Sparknotes’ online guide for math review. Is there any particular kind of question you keep getting wrong (prob&stats, geometry, etc.)? If you know what you need to review, then that should help boost your score too. And make sure you look over your answers during the testing time. If you can catch silly errors, then you’ll get some of those points. </p>

<p>The student may not get bonus points or treats for taking the test early, but if they’re already scoring so well on the reading and writing sections, I see 0 harm in taking it now. Junior year is stressful enough as it is. </p>

<p>I’m taking it sophomore year because I’ll be studying abroad in Europe my junior year. I see myself doing better now, as a sophomore, than I would while trying to adjust to a foreign language and culture. I could retake it senior year, but I wouldn’t want that to be the first time taking the test.</p>
