<p>Okay what's best way to prevent yourself from getting screwed by the stupid wording of Collegeboard's SAT Math section. I hate some of their problems (like phone call problem in Jan. SAT) because they're confusing to understand. Yes I know what some people'll say ----- use common sense. But not everyone is that gifted enough lol.</p>
<p>Any idea? Read the question slowly? Any idea???</p>
<p>Gray, could you give us an example of what you mean, for those of us who did not take January? Do you mean when it asks you to work out the problem but asks for a different answer- you do all the work to find one answer, but you have to do something with that answer to get the answer to the problem? I am very, very untalented with maths ;) and have had to be talked through virtually every type of SAT problem there is to understand what to do, so I can probably help if you give me a more specific idea.</p>
