Improving SAT math score? (am I taking the right approach)?
So I took the SAT on March and I made a 450 on the math, of course I was a little sick when I took the test so that had a lot to do with it. Now I take the SAT practice tests and I usually make 540s to 560s on it.
I have the official collegeboard SAT study guide, Princeton Review (cracking the SAT and 11 practice tests book), SAT math 800, and Kaplan SAT Math workbook. I usually do some problems on the SAT Math 800 book which gives the most difficult problems.
I take the SAT on October 10th, I am thinking about just reading the SAT math section on the official SAT Study guide from collegeboard and doing the quizzes in the book. Is this a wise move?
Would that be the right approach if I want to raise my math SAT score to a 600?
What do you suggest?

I think you are on the right track. To be honest with you, if one puts the time into it, SAT Math isn’t that bad. The first time I took the test, I was very ill and ended up with a 700 reading and a 580 math.
I studied for a month, doing one lesson in Gruber’s SAT and one math section every day and managed to pull my reading up to a 770 and my math up to a 700.
All you need to do is study and think outside of the box. If you get to the end of a test and you don’t know the answer to a hard one, most likely it is either D or E.
