<p>okay im just wondering from all of you people that are getting 600+, was it hard to go beyond 600+? I improved a lot, from my first ever practice test from a 490-595 after 6 practice test. Possible to get 600+ by October sat for me? I also noticed that Princeton Review's claim of guessing when you can eliminate 1 answer choice doesn't help my score at this point...so at this point, when is it good to guess? never?</p>
<p>It will take effort, but given hard work, you can easily cross the 600 score mark. You just have to study smartly, not just mechanically. You say you’ve given many practice tests. So, identify the areas where you repeatedly make mistakes. Work harder on them. Try to beef up your weak areas.</p>
<p>Also, regarding the guessing thing, I would say eliminating 1 choice is a bit too less. Try to eliminate atleast 2 before guessing. Also, just marking any circle out of the remaining 3 isn’t enough. You have to be smart and try to identify which is the most probable answer among them. Try eyeballing and other techniques for picking your answer.</p>
<p>@lazygarfield thanks for the advice! ill tell ya how it goes :)</p>
<p>You’re welcome 
Holler if you need anything!</p>
<p>As someone who has improved considerably in math, it’s definitely possible. Lazygarfield gives good advice; also, review all of the math you’ve learned in high school. Those geometry postulates and theorems are actually really important, as are basic algebraic concepts.</p>
<p>@Lazygarfield glad to find someone who doesn’t mind helping a beginner
@victoriaheidi thanks for the motivations, yeah ill review on the basics, slacked of big time in class and now im paying the price haha</p>
<p>I suggest that you always read the questions carefully rather than try to rush over the problems. Doing in an unnecessarily fast pace will NOT help you. That’s what I’ve learnt among students who don’t do well on SAT I Math. Also, try separating the problem first if you confront a difficult question. Doing so could lead to some “insights”.</p>
<p>An “insight” is a psychological term. It happens when you are stuck on a problem, and suddenly you find out a way to tackle the problem and come up with a sound solution.</p>
