How to get a perfect math score?

Practice is the key. Here is why. Some careless mistakes are in fact errors. What this means is that some students make the same ‘careless’ error repeatedly. For example, they may multiply 7x8 and get 54. So in fact they are weak on the times tables. Further, SAT math questions are worded strangely. Particularly non-native speakers have to pay particular attention to the wording.

The second problem is you may not know the material sufficiently well. Some problems are difficult. For example, a probability question can seem easy or hard depending upon how well you know the material. A clever student may get a question right that he only knows marginally well, but he or she is more likely to mess it up and it will take longer to do.

So I do not think it is necessary practice beyond the scope of the test, but it is necessary to know the material very well. This can be a bit boring. The student with a 780 might be better off moving on to another test or perhaps a hobby.
