So... math.

<p>I took the October SAT and received:</p>

<p>720 CR
630 M
690 W, 8E (would've been a 770 w/ 12 E)</p>

<p>Total: 2040 ... 2120.</p>

<p>My goal for the June SAT is 2250.</p>

<p>Realistically, I'm aiming for ~750 CR & ~770 W ... which leaves 730 M.</p>

<p>My problem, however, is that I have a lot of ground to cover before I'm able to reach that 730 M score. On SAT practice tests before the October exam, I'd been getting anywhere from low to high 500's; I was able to pull off that 630 after reading PWN the SAT the week of the exam.</p>

<p>Last week, I took another practice test (math), and got ~530. I took test #4 out of the Blue Book last night and didn't even score it; I'd gotten wrong/omitted 48% of the test. Just now, I took test #7, and received a 650 (highest yet) with 44 correct, 4 wrong (2 of which I'd been wavering between the two answers), and 6 omitted after studying out of PWN the SAT for 3 hours and going back through test #4 and figuring out the correct answers using the concepts within the book. Also, if I'd picked the correct answers for those two that I'd gotten wrong, I'd have received a 670.</p>

<p>I omitted 2 medium & 4 hard problems; I put down the wrong answer for 1 medium & 3 hard problems.</p>

<p>So, I guess my question is ... what more should I be doing? Perhaps the better question is, can I do it if I continue to work hard?</p>

<p>Back to the first page.</p>

<p>You can definitely do it! My suggestion is that you take another practice test, and see which questions you are getting wrong. Is a specific branch of mathematics, or is it just the level 3 and 4 questions? Then spend the time you have on the questions you find difficult. </p>

<p>Take the very same practice test again. This time you should achieve an 800. If not, keep going.</p>

<p>I don’t want to say anything bad about your goals, but isn’t your score really good?</p>

<p>Yeah, my score would be more than adequate… except my top choice is Wesleyan University.
It’s beyond the top 25% for the other schools that I plan on applying to.
But there’s always room for improvement, and I think that I can do it; I just wanted some outside opinions.</p>

<p>I was a natural 650 Math scorer when I started studying the SAT. I now get over a 750. For me, it was about catching careless errors and learning to get rid of some of my formal math training, relying instead on critical thinking (and tried and true methods of this). Look for a book that specializes on just the math section, with more text about how to improve than pages of practice tests. Good luck!</p>

<p>PM me with your e-mail. I got something that’ll blow your mind away. Also, if you wanna study for this math crap together, let me know. I’m only gonna send you what I got if you show me your dedicated ad willing to work together and willing to put in work every day. I’m scoring 680-710 right now.</p>
