Unbalanced SAT scores

I’m a senior, and I was definitely in a similar boat when I took the SAT. My final scores were 800CR, 680M, and 800W. I’m not a bad math student, but my projected M score was lower before I took the test.

I can’t emphasize how important it is to PRACTICE for the math section if it’s not your strength. The same kinds of problems are repeated on most versions of the SAT, so get Math workbooks and do every problem in the book. Study basic rules and theorems. Language people are often good at memorizing things :), so practicing will improve your score!

Also…take the SAT twice. Try to get your language scores as high as possible the first time around. If you’re happy with them, focus mostly on studying math for the next test. If you can get your score up to about a 600, I’m sure you’ll be just fine. Best of luck!
