Math?
I'll be blunt. I am not good at math. I am extremely good at reading, writing, and science (biology, et cetera, concepts).

How can I improve my math score for both the ACT and SAT? I'm taking both in June.

Any method or insight is appreciated.

Xiggi's SAT prep advice

This outlines the xiggi method for preparing for the SATs, it takes a while in the thread to get to the actual methodology but should help you improve. The thing about SAT math is, its not difficult math by a longshot. By familiarizing yourself with the questions that Collegeboard generally asks--by taking practice tests over and over--you will undoubtedly improve.

Thanks. I know the Xiggi method requires only using 'real' SAT prep books, but I have the Princeton Review and I don't think my mom will let me get more. Will it still work?
