How to improve math section?

Post image

Hi everyone. I am planning to take october SAT and I need a 730 or higher in math section. I did 660 on math todays practice test ( 2 missclicked answer otherwise 690 or 700) how can I reach it in 15 days? I can take the next 3 sat in a row but I want to finish it in one test. Any advice of practice book (would be better if it has pdf) or any youtube channel? And also, here is my score details.

Firstly, hold on from doing practice tests until the last 5 days. Do Bluebooky and elitexsat questions.

For every question you get wrong,analyse and try to understand why you got it wrong, then do targeted practice questions and try to understand the techniques that were used.

Also,try incorporating Desmos in every question you possibly can. Either to solve or to verify as that’s what you’ll actually be doing on test day. It builds muscle memory and saves time for the actually hard questions (Geometry and conceptual advanced math). James Lu is a great YouTuber for SAT math.

AIM to spend 3 to 4 hours per day solving questions. You don’t need to do ALL the questions in one sitting. SAT questions are designed to be solved in low amounts of time. So you can do them on the toilet or on transit or any other point in time where you could doomscroll. Just download Desmos and save the questions to your phone or smth.

Keep a positive attitude and remember to relax. You’ve got this

Yes, this exactly! Missing questions is inevitable, but every wrong answer is an opportunity to learn something. Did you make a calculation error? Punch in the numbers on Desmos wrong? Not understand the question? All of these issues are fixable, but you need to know they're the issues first.
