<p>I took the SAT in March 2010 and I scored a 740 in Math because I left one question blank and got one wrong (stupid curves). I'm really good at math, but I need to be FLAWLESS for the SAT. Now, I want an 800 VERY badly in October because it is the last time I'll be able to take the SATs before Early Action deadlines. I am going to be practicing with the Blue Book and with PR's 11 SAT Practice Tests as well as Kaplan and maybe Barron's SAT 2400. </p>
<p>Any tips for acing the math section? I desperately need help.</p>
<p>Try Gruber’s Math Workbook.</p>
<p>I got a 740 the first time and an 800 the second time. To tell you the truth, going from 740 to 800 I didn’t do much. I basically knew all the concepts and formulas and had done pretty much all the practice questions from various review books. Basically I went over mistakes I’d made before, found any new practice questions and did them, and tried my best to avoid careless mistakes. I also reviewed all concepts/formulas to keep them fresh in my mind. Don’t make the mistake my friend made. He got an 800 the first time and wanted to focus on another section for the next SAT, thinking he’d get high 700s-800 math again easily, but he was out of practice/timing himself and got, I believe, a 680 the second time.</p>
<p>Also, when I took the test the second time and got my 800 I had spare time at the end of the section. I checked back over most of the questions and found a very stupid mistake. I was worried at the end of the test that I may have made other stupid mistakes, but apparently going over the sections and finding that one mistake was what got me the perfect score.</p>
