SAT Questions

What’s the best and most effective way to prepare for the SAT’s? I am planning on taking it three times to get really good scores, and I need a lot of help on the math section especially. If I decide to get a SAT tutor/program, who should I go to for that? What is the best SAT prep place? I live in Lawrenceville, Georgia, so anyone knw the best SAT prep places near there also?

thank you!
10 POINTS TO BEST/MOST HELPFUL ANSWER! :}
Also, is the Kaplan program for prep thing worth taking and are they very effective? What about Sylvan?

I know the math section is out of 800 but my tutor told me to omit the last 2 questions of each math section. So I was wondering, what is the highest grade I can get on the math section if I use this strategy?

So I want to score at least a 700 on the math section of the SAT, and I have been doing the problems on this one website to prepare, so I was wondering:
Are these problems(below) adequate preparation for me in order for me to score at least a 700?:

I’ve heard that College Board’s practice tests are "dumbed down" compared to the real thing. On the other hand, college board is the one distributing the tests, so it would seem like their tests would be most accurate. I took a practice test from a college board free guide and it did seem easier, but it’s not like i suddenly got all 800s on it, either.
What should I do? If you took the SAT in march, especially, if you used college board’s study guide, how did it compare to the actual test?
Thanks in advance!!!
thanks guys! specifically, what do you think of this book for the math section? (i suck at the math section)

I’m going to be a junior next year, and I’ve been trying to get my score up to at least the 2000 range. I’ve made a litle bit of progress, going from a 1440 to a 1770 this summer, but I’ve had some big problems I don’t know how to fix.

For the math section, I always struggle with the last five problems, which are the most advanced. I just don’t understand how you make up your own equations and see it from a different point of view. It really frustrates me when I don’t know what to do or how to even start it. I look in the back of the book on how they solved the problems, but I always end up feeling stupid after seeing the strange techniques they used… although somehow they make it work. Most of the time I end up leaving these advanced problems blank. How can I get better at this?

By the way, I’m taking the SAT early senior year I think.. and my parents are considering sending me to an SAT prep class for this upcoming year. Has anyone heard of ELITE, or has anyone taken a Princeton Review Class? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I have the SAT official study guide and it gives a list of the score ranges associated with each raw score. But students get their results in form of ONE score, e.g. 600, so what is the significance of this range, for example, a students gets a raw score of 45 in the math section and the range given is 630-690?!

How am I supposed to determine what my score would be within to even 20 points?

Any ideas would be very helpful!

What is the best way to score high on the writing section & math section of the SAT? Anybody who has taken the new SAT this year have advice for upcoming juniors?

(May Sat 2009 answer) does anyone remember the Questions on the Write in math section?

Like if I answered half the questions in each section what is the highest score I could get in them? And this is the critical reading and math section I’m asking for because I know the other one has to do with my essay too.

Hey. When i took the SAT, I omitted four questions in the math section (2 multiple choice and 2 student-response grid-ins). Is it still possible to get an 800 on the math section if I got all of the other questions right? Thanks.
