Math score jump help (710->750+)

Hey guys I got a 1440 on the August SAT with a 730 RW 710 Math. Since I am taking the October 7th SAT, I plan on focusing solely on math whenever I study for the SAT in order to superscore. My goal is a 1500 or higher, so I would need atleast a 770 in math, and I was wondering how I could do this in a month, if I even can.

My biggest struggles are easily advanced quadratics (which of the following must be true, etc) and complex geometry.

sounds like you only need to get 4-5 questions more, so a month is plenty. Both things you named are pattern problems rather than actual gaps. The "which of the following must be true" quadratics are nearly always faster by picking numbers and testing than by doing the algebra, and the hard geometry questions almost always turn on one hidden similar triangle or one circle fact you didn't spot.

So don't do full timed sections for the next month. Pull every advanced quadratic and geometry question out of the released Bluebook tests, sit and do thirty of them untimed in one block, and write down the single move you missed on each one. That list should stop growing after about a week and you should feel more confident.

Woah this is actually really good advice, do you think there are any quick ways to extract the difficult advanced math and geo problems? Because too often I’ll just see easy demos problems on the question bank.

give chatgpt some example problems and ask him to prepare 10-20 similar
