How to get better for SAT math?

I’m trying to get a good grade for me to go to the college I want. I’m not too bad in critical reading and writing, but I suck on SAT math. Lets say like regular math in my school I’m pretty good at, but when I am taking the SAT math I am not that good as I want to be.

P.S.- Can you recommend any good books or anything that is helpful for me to do better?

There are several things you can do. Take a prep course before the next SATs in October in November. That helped me, a rising senior, a LOT. It raised my math score about 150 points, and my overall about 300. I can’t stress enough how much a prep course will help. You have to be as prepared as everybody else. Otherwise, you’re at a disadvantage.

The Math Book for the New Sat by Lawrence S. Leff is a great book for independent study. It’s a required textbook for my upcoming finite math class.

For what it’s worth, I feel your pain. I’m exactly the same when it comes to the “M” word.

I wish you all of the luck in the world, and I hope I helped.

Since it looks like you are already proficient at math, I would recommend the College Board’s official SAT study guide (the college board is the company that makes the SAT so this is pretty much a must) AND Dr. Chung’s SAT math. It has 27 five star reviews on amazon. It’s supposed to be pretty much the gold standard for people who are already pretty good to get near perfect scores.

I had the same problem as you. I bought the Barrens Review for the SAT Math and it really helped a lot. It breaks down all the differ net question types, explains how to do them, and gives practice problems with explanations in the back.

analyzes the given number and be careful while solving because if you don’t be careful you have a chance to be wrong
