Does any one know how to score the math and reading sections of the SAT?

You add up the total number you got right - (1/4) * the total you got wrong. \n\nSo it depends on how many questions you had on the reading and how many you had on the math.

Whenever you are taking tests that are combined, such as Math and science, concentrate on the subject area you know best. I, personally, suck at science, so I put all my energy into the math questions. That helped me ace that section of the test.\n\nAlso, lots of universities and school districts offer CSET prep courses. Best of luck to you!

They aren't too hard, I've passed them in 2 states.  Don't worry about the math (like everyone does).  what appears on the math part is actually quite easy on the test.  But the best strategy is to read a little every day and get a sample test booklet for your state (your library probably has one) so you can practice some questions and get the hang of it. \n\ngood luck!

Here are the basic facts:\nthe ACT math includes arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and basic trigonometry.\nthe SAT math includes arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.\n\nClearly, subject-wise, the SAT math is easier. However, there are wrong answer penalties on the SATs, and there are other reasons why the ACT is a much more "friendly" test. Give yourself a favor, take a free practice test from Kaplan. It's just like the "real thing", so you'll know what kind of scores you can expect. If your scores aren't where you want them to be, you can improve them by studying with a book, and online course, a class or, best of all worlds, a private tutor. The fist step, however, is to see if any of your target schools do NOT accept the ACT, and to find out the median scores for those schools. That way, you'll know where you need to be!\nGood luck!

Now that they've established the new SAT, 1600 is well below the perfect score. I took the SAT a couple of weeks ago and made a 1640, which is only a little above average.\n\nI looked online, and the site won't list the usual combined score for students, but usually it's around 700 for reading and math individually.\n\nSo around 1400 if you aren't counting your essay and writing skills points

for english you should read a lot and then do 3 or four practice tests.... basically you need a good vocabulary and get good at skimming those passages... for math you need to know the concepts really well so that you can answer any type of question.... and you have to get used to the SAT type question.... for writing you need to get those grammar skills up and you have to write a lot of essays....

Go to a book store or library and the have tons of SAT books that will work on everything.  They ussually aren't to exspensive and worth the cost.

I'm an SAT tutor and basically what it comes down to is practice. Get yourself a review book (you can find them in any bookstore - Barrons, Kaplan, Princeton Review, etc) so you can familiarize yourself with the types of questions you'll see on the SAT. If you can, take a diagnostic test to see what areas you're strong in and which areas need work. Then practice. Take at least one timed practice exam so you can learn how to pace yourself. If you've already taken the SAT and want to improve, look at your score reports and see where you need the most work. Then do a lot of practice problems. \nThere are also courses, but they can be expensive.

If you can't score at least 750 on the SAT Math section then don't bother.  Otherwise, just register for it, and then beg if you have to.  You're obviously not concerned about English.

C, C, C, Just take a guess, I did! You'll do fine, on the SAT. The more you question yourself about it, the worse you will probably do. Good Luck!

That's great that you want a tutor for the SAT! Princeton Review and Elite are well known tutors where I live (Orange County, CA). I'm pretty sure Princeton Review is more widely spread out that just here. Here are a couple suggestions:\n\n1.) http://testprep.princetonreview.com/coursesearch/AdvancedSearch.aspx - Princeton Review's tutoring site\n2.) Go to your college center or guidance councler at school and ask for suggestions and referals\n3.) Ask older friends who have already taken the SAT and had tutor\n3.) Your city's community events paper (if you have one)\n4.) Look for flyers around your school that have information about tutoring in general because they might also tutor for the SAT\n5.) find a private tutor (it's quite costly; if you live near me, email me, I know a tutor who collaborates with College Board and has 3 books about the new SAT )\n\nGood luck and start ASAP!!!!!
