<p>As the title says, I'm stuck in math. I consistently score a 590-620. While this is not terrible, all my SAT sections need to be at least a 700. I have taken math section practices and the actual SAT. I use Khan Academy to review the sections. After reviewing, it is apparent I know the content for the most part, I just lack the skills necessary to apply my knowledge. The PSAT results the other day has reaffirmed that I am stuck with this score. My parents seem to think I need a tutor. </p>
<p>So... how does one improve his or her math score? Continued practice in blue book or other prep books?</p>
<p>Do every single problem in the blue book. Then redo the ones you missed at least 2 to three times on separate occasions. Do them without a time limit. Underline important info in the problems ( like you would on a reading test) <, >, at least, etc. You’ll be more likely to catch the tricks that way.</p>
<p>I would imagine that Khan Academy is bad SAT test prep (it’s been relatively mediocre every time I’ve tried it).</p>
<p>Buy the Barron’s SAT 26th edition, and work through the 300 pages of math review. If you still get a 600 after that, it’s because your mathematical reasoning skills are lacking and there’s not much you can do about it.</p>
<p>Thank you. I guess I will focus on working through the Blue Book entirely and diagnosing what is wrong. From there, I will look through Barron’s.</p>
