<p>And the question that I've continuously been posing is which book.</p>
<p>And you got answers in post 3 and 4.......................</p>
<p>^<em>cough</em> forgive him. He did say math was his best subject, not critical reading ;P.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I'll probably pick up all of them
and I did say further down that I didn't like PR all that much... so excuse me for that post at least :)</p>
<p>ok if u think u can do it (meaning u already know how to do all the problems on a given test), just focus ur attention on working carefully but at the same time pacing yourself. Thats about it. Math isn't that hard so you can do it.</p>
<p>You shouldn't buy all of them. Any one of them will give them the basic math review you need. After you get the basics then you just need to start taking practice tests.</p>
<p>Math material is usually very easy, so what makes the difference is being extremely attentive. My advice - always double check!</p>
<p>again, stay calm during the test.</p>
<p>i lol'd at that one too...</p>
<p>I don't know if this helps... but if you sit down with the blue book and take the math sections untimed, it really shows where you mess up-- it can be a huge confidence booster.</p>
<p>Here''s a variation of the "working backwards" strategy: Start from the middle, work to the end, then start from the beginning until you reach the middle where you started. </p>
<p>In a section with grid-ins, start with the first grid-in, finish the grid-ins, and then go to the beginning.</p>
<p>thats way too complicated lol!</p>

<p>I think that's a really smart strategy. That way you could have enough time to do all the one's that involve some thinking in the beginning and go through all the hard ones and try to avoid careless mistakes on those. And in the end you can relax yourself by doing all the obnoxiously easy ones.</p>
<p>^It's smart in theory, but the chance of misbubbling runs high and I don't think it really matters what order you do the problems ._.</p>
<p>^oh well, i always mentally say to myself what number I'm about to bubble like "36,B" so I haven't misbubbled yet...</p>
<p>I normally do it really fast, and can usually finish in like 10-15 minutes. I do this because i KNOW im gonna make a lot of careless mistakes regardless of how long i take it. I also do this because i know i am very efficient at catching my mistakes when i check my work. If you are the kind of person who has a similar thought process when u check the work as when u do it, and arent likely to find the errors u made, dont use my technique, though. I know some people who will repeat the careless mistake over and over again if they use my method. Try different things out. One might work for you.</p>
<p>fROM WHICH POST can one get top maths tips on CC</p>
<p>well.. i suppose that "start at the end or middle" thing works well for those trying to go up 20-30 points. Like, in math.. i got an 80 and i did it in normal order.. but in writing.. i was shooting for a 70 and had a 67 so i did the things i found hard first .. then the things that i found easy last... and i got a 70..so i suppose it works when ure really close to a goal.. but it wont make ure 68 become a 80.</p>
<p>People need to try out different strategies during practice tests. What works for one person may not work for another.</p>
