Good at math, but suck at SAT Math (the hard questions)?

I actually consider that to be a very simple algebra question. I think it might have something to do with being at a school that uses a completely different syllabus to American schools, but we had a lot of training with questions like that; i.e. do as much practice as possible! I can’t recommend any books or anything, but try to isolate the questions you’re missing on practice tests and do tons and tons of practice on that type of question (e.g. Google “inequalities” if that’s what you’re having trouble with and you should come up with worksheets for it). If it’s something like the ratio question, try searching for “ratio word problems”…you get the point.

Hope this helped!
