What kind of math is on the ACT?

The bulk of the math on the ACT comes from Algebra and Geometry. Therefore, your ACT math prep will need to include Pre-Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Plane Geometry, and Coordinate Geometry. There is also some Trigonometry on the test, although it’s not as heavily emphasized.

The lessons helped me tremendously on my math placement test. I’m attending the University of Alabama this fall. I finished my associates degree in 2016, so I haven’t taken math classes in a long time. After doing the lessons I placed out of the intermediate classes I didn’t want to take, and into calculus. Taking this course has saved me around $2,000 in classes, and my graduation date was moved up. I’d say it was a great investment!

Very smooth remedial lessons and it helped refresh my memory on things I had forgotten about. Overall it was very worth it and I'm ready to take my math placement test this coming month.

My daughter used to prepare for the Accuplacer math placement test at her university. The school required a score of 279 on the Quantitative Reasoning test to move on to the Accuplacer AAF. The first time, she took it cold and scored a 270, so she was not able to move on to the AAF test. Then she studied on your site and got a 299 on the QR and a 292 on the AAF test, so she is good to go!Your website is very well planned to maximize results while minimizing time investment. The method that worked best for my daughter was to take the practice quiz for each section and then read explanations or watch videos of the problems she missed. That way she wasn't spending time watching videos on topics she already knew/remembered well. I then had her take the full practice tests once she had gone through all of the videos she needed to. Sometimes she didn't even need to view the videos -- your explanations of answers were sufficient in most cases to tell her what she needed to know, but the videos were very helpful when she needed a bit more explanation/step-by-step instruction. Up until this year, she has always done well in math, but a crummy teacher combined with covid virtual school made this year a very tough year for her, and she has lost a lot of confidence as a result. I hope that seeing how well she can do with a bit of good teaching/support has shown her that she can be successful again in this college calculus course.Overall, I was very impressed with how well your website prepared her for the tests, as evidenced by her scores. I will also use your site as she prepares to take the PSAT next year.

I graduated high school in 1992, that was the last time I did any math related to algebra. I never went into college. 20 plus years later I decided to enroll. I needed to take the PERT placement test for Math. I had a bit of panic because I didn't remember anything; so I would have to learn as much as I could within a month because of deadlines with the school. I stumbled upon while google searching Pert Test help. They offer 3 free lessons and it is a nice introduction into how the website works. I signed up for a month.Topics are broken down into a specific area; ie: Quadratic Equations. These are further broken down into bite size lessons that go through a specific part of the main lesson. Each lesson is explained in a logical and practical way that is easy to understand. After each mini lesson you can either practice or take a test on what you learned. When you finish a topic you get a review test on mixed questions based on all the lessons in that topic.I studied with them 2 hours a day minus weekends. Though I didn't get through all the areas because of time restraints; I did manage to go through the majority of it.The day of the test arrived and a few questions that I did not recognize were on the exam. However, even though I had not studied those specific problems, I knew the process on how to work through them. In the end for an old dude who hadn't studied in a long time I scored a 124 out of 150, enough to be able to select college Algebra. If I had been afforded the time to hit every section and really get mastery of it, I probably could have scored higher.I highly recommend signing up for this site if you are struggling with higher level math and or need a refresher on it. The teachers are amazing and each lesson is presented clearly and simply. The fact that you can practice them over and over really reinforces their lessons.Another good thing is unsubscribing. Most sites are sneaky and in order to cancel you have to find a number from some other site. While is auto renew you can basically just click a button that says unsubscribe.If I end up having trouble in math this semester I will definitely be subscribing again. I can't thank them enough and highly recommend them. Worth every penny.

It helped me quite a bit as I got 91 score at UMass placement test which enabled me to enroll directly into Calculus.

What is the best study guide for the ACT?

There are lots of study guides out there for the ACT, such as MathHelp, Princeton Review, Kaplan, Magoosh, Barron’s, and so on. Use the following steps to narrow the field and find the exact program for your needs.

1. Look for a study guide with instruction

Your ACT review should go far beyond the typical  ACT math study guide by including comprehensive instruction, guided practice, and interactive tests. Other critical features include diagnostic tests, background lessons, and grade reports.

2. Make sure it focuses your energies

Your approach to ACT prep should be direct and to the point. Don’t waste your time with long-winded explanations, and target the topics that are covered on the test. The best ACT Math prep must be incredibly efficient as well.

3. Find a balance between cost and effectiveness

A test prep book with an ACT math practice test is inexpensive, but it’s often not helpful enough. Conversely, classes and tutors are helpful, but they may be too expensive. The secret is to find an ACT Math test prep course that works well but doesn’t break the bank.

How do I prepare for the math ACT??

Use the following steps to prepare for the math ACT.

  1. Get to know the kinds of math questions that you’ll see on the actual ACT test.
  2. Strengthen your math fundamentals so that you can handle any type of question they might throw at you.
  3. Practice extensively to find your most common mistakes and get them out of your system.
  4. Use an online tutoring course that provides video and audio instruction.

What are the most common ACT math questions?

The most common math questions on the ACT cover Pre-Algebra concepts, such as the ones shown below.

  • Integers and Fractions
  • Decimals and Percentages
  • Statistics and Probability

How can I pass my math ACT?

If you’re wondering how to pass the ACT math, here are some tips that can help.

  1. Work on the problem completely before looking at the answer options. In other words, avoid the temptation to take shortcuts. Practice this approach as part of your ACT math prep, so that you develop the discipline you’ll need when it’s time for the actual test.
  2. If a question is bogging you down, move on. Time is of the essence.
  3. A calculator is allowed, so use it as much as possible.
  4. If you can eliminate answer options, make a strategic guess.

How hard is the ACT math section?

The ACT Math section can be hard because you are required to answer 60 questions in 60 minutes. In addition to the time pressure, the math itself is hard for many students because it primarily covers Algebra and Geometry, which are difficult subjects for the average test-taker.

Is the ACT or SAT math harder?

Whether the ACT or SAT math is harder depends on the student. The math on the tests is pretty similar. However, the SAT has a section that doesn’t allow you to use a calculator, so students who rely heavily on their calculators might find the SAT harder. On the other hand, the ACT gives you 60 minutes for 60 math questions, while the SAT gives you 80 minutes for just 58 math questions, so slow test-takers will probably find the ACT harder.

How do you get a 36 on the ACT math?

The best possible score on the ACT math is a 36, so if you’re wondering how to get a 36, your first step will be to prepare thoroughly. Find a test prep program that teaches you the math behind the questions, so that you build a rock-solid background that allows you to tackle every type of question you might see. Because if you want to get a 36 on the ACT math test, you’re only allowed to miss 3 of the 60 questions.

Is a 33 ACT good?

A 33 is an excellent score on the ACT. If you get a 33, it means that you’re in the 98th percentile. In other words, your score is higher than 98% of the students who take the test. No matter where you’re applying to college, 33 is considered a good score.
