<p>Anonymous, there is no need to be a pretentious jerk.</p>
<p>I am actually a very good math student who should be scoring 750+ in the Math section, but unfortunately I am also one of those people who does not perform well under time constraints. I usually test very well on math tests at school, but then again, I have an hour and half to do twenty problems, as opposed to twenty five minutes to do twenty problems on the SAT. Even worse, I tend to be one of those people who frequently makes stupid mistakes… (The question asks you to solve for x, and I instead solve for y…) Since I rarely have time to check many of my answers, I usually make a dumb mistake/s that I don’t have time to notice when I check… Right now, I’m sitting, disappointedly, at 710.</p>
<p>Perhaps what you, Precocious, and I should do is do the easy problems more quickly (but not to the point of being reckless) to make time for the last ones, and then check the last ones after you do them. (It’s so easy to make an idiotic mistake on the last questions, which usually tend to involve multiple steps.)</p>
