What are the best strategy books & such for SAT math?
Any recommendations would be great, thanks!

Make sure that you can burn through the easy questions (like, 1-15 in a 20 question section). Make it so that you scoff at the easiness. That way, you’ll have time to think through the last five questions and get them right—and earn that 800.
(At your level, the best way is to learn question forms and all the variations CB can spit at you.)
When doing the SATs maths, keep calm (easier said than done I know). Read the questions before you start and read them as you are doing them. First do the easy questions, and then do the questions you know and then do the hard questions. If you can leave a gap after you answer so there is room for you to write more if you have the time at the end to go back and some more workings out. Do not panic, I did this once in a Book-Keeping exam I am sure I would have got a credit if I had not panicked. I could not get my balance sheet to balance and instead of going on to the next question I tried and tried to find what I had done wrong. If I had just gone on and finished the exam and then gone back with a fresh mind I may have found out what I had done wrong, but I panicked and nearly walked out of the exam room. If I had have walked out I would have failed but I stayed and I passed, because I had showed that I knew what I was doing. But, nothing beats hard work and practice.
I hope this helps, it is how I have done my exams, but then I have not done SATS maths or otherwise. Good Luck.
make sure u use a graphing calc.
