Yikes, don’t listen to the negative comments–you don’t have to be a math genius to get a perfect score! not even close, lol. math has been my worst subject since the 5th grade and i still pulled off 800’s on both the math portion of the reasoning test and the math sat 2. on the flip side, i have some friends in advanced calculus who couldn’t get above a 770 on the math SAT reasoning (granted, it was because they made some really stupid mistakes…but see? no one is immune to carelessness)

like others have said, you just need to practice, a LOT. whether it means self-studying like crazy or going the tutoring route, you should definitely be working on a lot of practice tests just to get the feel of the format and recognize the types of questions they ask. for the most part, it’s mostly just geometry and algebra 2, simple stuff. near the end of each section there’ll be some functions and graphs (this was the stuff i struggled with initially) so whatever your weak point is, identify it and work on it. also, be sure to read each question CAREFULLY. i’m not quite sure how, but CB can somehow make pie chart analysis confusing with their weirdly-worded questions, so watch out for those and make sure you know what they’re looking for.
