What you're actually supposed to do when the ACT asks you about an author's attitude... The important implications of viewing time as an investment on test day... Why focusing on the wrong answers can be just as important as finding the right one...and how to do it effectively... The simple formula that allows you to crank out a top-scoring essay (that is, if you even need to take the ACT Writing test in the first place)... The special grammatical rules tested on the ACT English section-which may differ from what's commonly accepted in a high school or college classroom... The unwritten rules for every kind of ACT question... The many ways to approach an ACT Math question, and which ones are likely to work best for you... Why every real ACT Math question can potentially be answered in under 30 seconds... And much, much more than we can fit in this space...

Ultimate Guide to the Math ACT
Richard F Corn
4.8
This book contains everything you need to know in order to achieve your full potential on the math ACT. It can be used as a standalone text or as a companion to the official prep guides published by ACT. This second edition replaces the first edition, which sold more than 26,000 copies. In addition to updated content to reflect changes in the math ACT, this edition contains several improvements. The most important improvement is in the way it is structured. The structure enables students with high target scores (well over 30) to zero in on the material they need without getting bogged down in math fundamentals; whereas students with more modest target scores can focus on the fundamentals without being distracted by advanced material not needed to hit their targets. Other improvements include more challenging problems to reflect the increasing difficulty of the test, expanded treatment of advanced topics that appear on the test less frequently, many more calculator tips with screen shots from the TI-84 family of calculators, and an improved tips and techniques section for taking the test. The strengths of the earlier material are preserved, including a comprehensive review of early math (averages, percentages), followed by topics from algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, pre-calculus and statistics. For these, there are 38 lessons, more than 550 homework problems, solutions to the homework problems, and calculator tips. The book also contains extensive advice on how to take the math ACT, including pacing, how to take and learn from taking practice tests, and test-taking techniques.
