last sat i took i got a 600 on the math is a 700 a realistic goal ?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I want to know what strategy besides practicing problems over and over again can i use to bump my score from a 600 to 700 in a month and a half. I take the sats for the last time in december. I order the barrons math book and recently finished the dr chung it helped my score by 80 pts.</p>

<p>my June score was a 620 math.
my october score was a 720 math
I just reviewed with the regular sat Barron’s book and did a few practice tests.
for me, it was reviewing concepts I forgot, not practicing problems but you should be fine as long as you work hard</p>

<p>what do you think are the most important concepts to review thoroughly</p>

4

<p>My son raised his math from a 660 to a 700 with zero studying</p>

5

<p>I know sooooo many people who increased their SAT math 100+ points…
My source:
PSAT sophomore year: 61 math
PSAT junior year: 80 math
SAT junior year: 760</p>

<p>what is the best way to do it @ wavylays94</p>

<p>Getting used to the type of problems on SAT math and limiting mistakes</p>

<p>I used princeton review. my math went from 620 to 700.</p>

<p>SAT math is more of a puzzle than testing any real concepts. Princeton Review teaches you ways to approach the problems, how to spot wrong answers right away, knowing when to omit, pacing, etc.</p>

<p>lolllll^ agreed</p>

<p>I went from 610 jan to 580 may to 700 oct with ZERO studying in between.</p>

<p>Here is the method I worked through with my son, taking him from a Math 570 (no prep) to a 710 after studying:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Do a timed math section from the blue book once a day (or with whatever frequency you are willing to practice). Circle the missed questions and find out the right way to do them (from a Barron’s book or you can find them done online as well.)</p></li>
<li><p>If you notice any trend in missed questions, review of a bunch of questions of those type in the Barron’s book or similar. The point is to find holes in your math education and fill them (for example, I don’t think most HS students do much number theory, which is found on the SAT).</p></li>
<li><p>Periodically go back and re-do the circled questions (the ones you missed doing a timed section). If you miss them again, practice more questions of those type from a review book.</p></li>
<li><p>Keep going all the way through the blue book. This method takes about 20 minutes a day (the time it takes to do a math section), and then a little more on the review days.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>thanks for the advice</p>
