I took a practice test from the Kaplan SAT math workbook and I got a 500 math score on it (I was depressed), I usually get higher than a 500 on the practice tests. I made a 510-540 range on the princeton review score ranges and a 510 – 570 range on the collegeboard practice test (math section). Which of the following should I trust, also if I work through the SAT math workbook from Kaplan, will it raise my SAT score in the 600s range?

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?

The university I would like to attend requires a 21 or higher on the ACT.

I made a 17 and for right now im at the local junior college to rack up on the credits.

I was thinking after I finish my intermediate algebra course Would retake the ACT
That would mean I would be 19 is that be considered to old to take th ACT?

I only had trouble with the math section.

The math section killed me, i’ve bought the SAT Prep Book , and I was just wondering what more I could do to study for the test. I’m going to be a senior next month, and I really want to push my scores up (at least 1600) for college. So do you guys have any tips, or how to study? please please help!
i took them in May
i took my subject tests in June

the past 5 practice tests i took im scoring around 620 on the math section plus or minus 10 what is the best way to increase my score

I took the ACT today for the second time. The first time I took it, I got a 19. It was basically a practice to see what it was like..After taking it today, I feel like I did a lot better, except in the Math section..Math has never really been my strong point, mainly cause I never study it. Last time I took it I got a 17 in math, which is horrible, I know. This time I took it, I would like to think I did better than last time, but I did a lot of guessing and the last two columns I bubbled in " B " cause I ran out of time. Is "B" the right answer choice on the test?…I want to at least hope that I got a 20, that wouldn’t lower my composite score as much. What do ya’ll think?

I’m going to be a junior next year, and I’ve been trying to get my score up to at least the 2000 range. I’ve made a litle bit of progress, going from a 1440 to a 1770 this summer, but I’ve had some big problems I don’t know how to fix.

For the math section, I always struggle with the last five problems, which are the most advanced. I just don’t understand how you make up your own equations and see it from a different point of view. It really frustrates me when I don’t know what to do or how to even start it. I look in the back of the book on how they solved the problems, but I always end up feeling stupid after seeing the strange techniques they used… although somehow they make it work. Most of the time I end up leaving these advanced problems blank. How can I get better at this?

By the way, I’m taking the SAT early senior year I think.. and my parents are considering sending me to an SAT prep class for this upcoming year. Has anyone heard of ELITE, or has anyone taken a Princeton Review Class? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I have been told by a few friends online that since I am struggling with Princeton Review and Kaplan, I should just use the Blue Book.

Everyone keeps telling me to use the blue book. I scored a 400 on the math mainly because I didn’t know how to do half of it. If I use the blue book could I score a 700 next month? Does it tell you how to do the problems?

Someone else told me the best book (besides the BB) for the Math section is Gruber’s Complete SAT Guide. The math study guide part of course.

Then I was told by someone else to JUST use the blue book, print out a list of SAT vocab, and pick up some small Kaplan books.

I need to score a 2100-2200. Is the BB, my one and only best bet?

Help….
Ok, can you tell me any of the "other" books I should buy?
Ok, can you tell me any of the "other" books I should buy?

there are 60 questions and in all or most of my practice tests i miss 14-18 problems…so how many can u miss and still do well on the math section?? thanks!

On the SAT practice tests I’ve been taking, my scores for the math section have been slowly increasing. What I mean is that I got a 540 on one test I took, then a 550, and now a 560 on the most recent one. Math is my weakest section, but I’m aiming for at least a 600, because right now my math scores are terrible. My question is, do you think my scores will keep improving at this rate? Like will the next one be 570, and then so on till I get to 600? How can I improve faster? Thank you.
