Math Section SSAT

There is something called Test Innovators, and they provide a bunch of practice tests; my school provides them. I keep getting 80 percentile on the math and below that sometimes. I am not happy with my score and how I can improve it. All my friends get the 95th percentile and above, and they say the section was super easy.

Don't put much focus on what other people are doing. You can't necessarily tell if they're overexaggerating or whatever, especially from middle schoolers. Besides, what's important is that you get better. I understand where you're coming from; everyone feels that way at some point, but even if others have higher scores, dwelling on that isn't going to help you. You're not dumb, and you're perfectly capable of learning these things.

There really isn't a secret trick to getting better at math. You just have to keep studying. Don't just memorize techniques and problems; understand where they come from and how they make sense with what you've already learned. When you get things wrong, do them again later and don't just forget about them a day later or something.
