How can I raise my SAT Math score in just one month?

Question

A lot can change in 4 weeks with the right strategy. Here’s how I help students maximize their math score when time is short.

Answer 1

A month is actually a really long time in the context of exam prep if you use it wisely! I would start by taking a practice test so that you’re able to identify your areas of weakness, then work as many practice problems as possible to shore those up.

Finally then I would focus on your exam strategies … focusing on time management and learning to double check your answers by plugging in values can go a long way toward boosting your score.

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

The mean score on the math section of the SAT is 505. One standard deviation is 125. Therefore 68% of all takers of the SAT score between 380 and 630.

While you might be able to raise your score within this range, it does not affect your ranking.

Only scores higher than 630 are considered exceptional.

Answer 3

When a student has only one month before the SAT, I focus on strategy as much as content. We begin with a diagnostic to pinpoint strengths and gaps, then build a study plan that emphasizes:

1. High-frequency topics like linear equations, functions, and percentages
2. Pacing practice to avoid time traps
3. Identifying and avoiding distractor choices in multiple-choice questions
4. I also coach students on using Desmos effectively and developing the mental stamina to finish strong. With structure and consistency, a four-week improvement is absolutely possible.
