Scoring in the upper 700s in math.

<p>Ok so I took the Sat for the first time in October and scored a 600 on the math. I have always been a very good math student. Back when I took the test in oct. Frankly I didn't even try my best; and really knew nothing about the Sat. Every question that I didn't know I would take my best guess. So all in all I'm surprised I even got a 600. But for the past month and a half i have read a lot about the SAt and have been practicing nearly everyday. I have been getting in the 720-750 range for math after rigorous studying/practice. I really want to get around 730 on the SAT on saturday. Anybody have a similar story to me; and if so what did you get on the test your second go around. As for reading I got a 640 and really haven't much practicing on that because I feel like if i had tried harder in october I could of got in the 700's for reading. Anyways I am really excited and a but anxious for the test saturday. Any advice for what I should do to get some last minute prep in?</p>

<p>good luck, only advice would be don’t overthink the problems, they’re all meant to be able to be easily solved</p>

<p>Yes, he is right ! If you start using some complex equations, you will never solve the problem; at least, not within the time given.Every problem is designed to be solved withing 1 minute, with the easiest - within 30-40 seconds, and the hardest - 1-1.5 minute</p>

<p>OK thanks guys, yea I am defineintly not one to use complex equations. It seems to me the only problems I miss are when I dont read carefully or misinterpret something and sometimes I will miss the “tricky” ones at the end.</p>
