<p>Hello I purchased the barrons sat 2 math 2 book and have taken five tests so far. My scores are rapidly declining as the number of tests I take is increasing. I have no idea what's going on or what to do my first diagnostic I got a 740 I studied some more after going over wrong answers and then got a 740 again did the same thing then got a 700 did it again got a 700 and today I just got a 640. I have no idea what to do. I've been staying up untill 3:30 am studying but nothing is seeming to help should I take a break from barrons and only try my princeton book or do the real test.? (I've been doing all the tests timed the second test I ran out of time and marked what questions I left blank and then continued and with the extra time I got a 790). Should I take a nap and relax for a little bit? Should I study the sections in the book (I've done all the problems in their).</p>
<p>I'm leaning towards relaxing and taking a nap and then taking the next two tests with unlimited time to boost my ego and then doing the Princeton tests timed.</p>
<p>Any advice would be amazing
TLDR Getting worse and worse scores what to do?</p>
<p>Best case scenario is that you are doing so many tests that it is causing you to lose focus and energy. however, If your attention level is the same then the average of all your scores is likely how you will test out.</p>
<p>I think it might be that too do you think I should just take a break of like 5 hours? also do you think taking one untimed might help with focus and energy? I really just want a direction on how to approach this</p>
<p>jeffisaboss, since you are taking the june test, you have approx 7 days more to practice.</p>
<p>my suggestion is to take no more tahn 2 tests a day, as yes it will tire you out!</p>
<p>640 is surprisingly low after getting over 700s but my tip is: continue taking tests, continue timing yourself, and continue checking your score and going over the wrong and the ones you didn’t do.</p>
<p>once you finish the barrons and go to princetons/annd the blue book you will notice you will get higher scores. good luck and practice on timing.</p>
<p>Think it would be of value to do all the review sections in the barrons or the princeton book or should i focus on what topics I’m getting wrong? Also I shouldn’t take but one test without time or would it be more detrimental then anything else? Thanks for you’re advice I’m just freaking out</p>
<p>jeffisaboss, no need to freak out. Personally, i purchased the books just for the tests, i never went over the actual review/topics except if i ran into a question i didn’t know how to solve.</p>
<p>That’s why i recommend to just take tests.</p>
<p>Once you finish the test, you go over the test, you will run into questions you answered incorrectly or didn’t know how to solve. THEN you go to the topics and learn how to solve it for next time. (basically means going over the test and using the book as reference, but if you have a background in math you shouldn’t waste your time doing all the review sections, just tests.</p>
<p>then you can do another test and repeat. each test you learn from past mistakes therefore you will have less and less and less mistakes each time :).</p>
<p>I took another practice test and got a 690 I find I’m getting a ton of “silly” mistakes or not noticing obvious ways to get answers is their anything I can do to change that?</p>
