<p>Hey guys, I am a junior this year, and am going to take SAT this March. I seriously need your advice for improvement on SAT math because I am shooting for a 770+. (Last year's result was around the low 600s) I heard a lot of CC members preferred Gruber's over other study materials, but some others suggested not to use it because it did not resemble the real Collegeboard SAT. So for those of you who used Gruber's, can you guys tell me how much points did Gruber's help you on SAT math? If you used some other guides along with Grubber's, please list that out as well. Thanks.
God Bless you all!
Happy New Year!</p>
<p>Actually i am still using gruber’s but i feel that i have improved in many areas related to math. My friend on the other hand solved Kaplan Math twice and got a 800 (she is really good by nature )</p>
<p>Yeah and Im also solving old us and international exams (since all SATs are recycled )</p>
<p>Anyone else???</p>
<p>You’re going to have to do a great deal of practice/work to move up from the low 600s to the high 700s. In order to score 770 or higher on most SATs, you need to miss 0-1 questions total on all of the Math sections combined. That’s very difficult to do.</p>
<p>If you want to get a top score on the Math section of the SAT, here are my recommendations:
[ul][<em>]Practice working through College Board math sections under time pressure.
[</em>]Work as quickly as possible without sacrificing accuracy. This will create a time cushion for solving the most difficult questions at the end of a section.
[<em>]Eliminate misreads.
[</em>]Commit yourself to double- and triple-checking your answers.
[<em>]Take the SAT at least a couple of more times.
[</em>]Stay motivated. Don’t burn out. Have fun with the prep.[/ul]</p>
<p>Don’t use general prep books if you’re focusing on improving one specific section; I’d suggest Math-specific books such as Pwn the SAT or Dr Chung’s Math Guide. (don’t have either, but heard they’re good so yeah)</p>
<p>Thanks:-) </p>
<p>Dr Chung’s Math Guide is something my friends swear by!</p>
<p>^ I second this. However this is more helpful for Math II</p>
