I went 690 -> 740 -> 800. Tigerdad is somewhat right IMO. Really, really brilliant math people often take the SAT and score an 800 in math without studying for it. If you are super brilliant at math, I agree that you are not likely to make “stupid mistakes”. But for the rest of us, who aren’t math geniuses, there is certainly still hope. And that lies in practice. Take practice tests, identify the stupid mistakes that you make, and make a list. Take more practice tests and tally every stupid mistake you make. All you have to do is make yourself aware of the types of stupid mistakes that you make, and as you continue, you will find that since you are aware of your bad habits, you will fall into them less often, and hopefully after a while, virtually never. That is how I went from 4 stupid mistakes on my first SAT to 2 on my next to 0 on my third.
