Took the College Board site's practice test...

Test Preparation
1

<p>800 CR
800 W (assuming 12 on essay, I'm pretty sure about that...assail my hubris as you will!)
Here's the whopper: 680 M</p>

<p>I don't know what to do. I got a 75 CR, 80 W, 72 M on PSATs (junior) so I'm alarmed that my math score is so low on this SAT. (I did get a 64 M on sophomore PSATs.) How should I go about preparing for SAT Math then? I'm in AP Calc AB right now with an A, and my algebra skills are not weak. I can do complex rote problems any day--but quantitative reasoning just isn't my thing. I just seem to run out of time on every SAT section--and I'm no calculator hog either. So any suggestions? Maybe I can attribute my 6 wrong answers to the fact that I didn't print out the practice test or answer sheets...so I had to copy out the problems and couldn't cross out answer choices?
Someone please give me some advice on how to practice.....is it just more practice tests?</p>

<p>Pretty much.</p>

<p>When you take the test and enter the answers, do they give you the scores right away?</p>

<p>I don't think you have to worry. I took practice tests and didn't do so well on the math sections because of stupid mistakes and spending too much time over little things. On the actual test, I was much more focused and careful and ended up with a 770 (1 omit). I'm also in AP Calc AB and my algebra skills are fine. I'm sure that as long as you know the stuff and are careful, you'll be fine. Good job on the CR, by the way - it's my weakest section.</p>
