<p>I just found out my scores this morning and I wasn't happy with my math score at all. It was lowest of all subjects, even science!! I see a lot of people with high Math scores, people who are not even that good in Math. I was wondering if you all can give me some tips, book recommendations for the ACT math, or anything so I can raise my score. Plzz I'M DESPERATE!!</p>
<p>I got a 35 math on this September act. I guess first, it depends on what type of person you are. Some people are much better at SAT math. Personally, I feel the SAT math is more tedious and tricky and requires more abstract thinking. And I feel ACT math is more algebra intensive and requires a solid knowledge of properties. So do whichever you are better at. As for the ACT math itself, I suggest you be really good at doing alebra-solving for x, multiplying or dividing exponents, etc. Work through the first 55 fairly quickly, leaving a good 10-12 minutes for the tough last questions. Also know your trig!! Know sohcahtoa, solving for an angle, central angle, etc. Don’t get to caught up on any one question, skip it and move on.</p>
<p>I got a 36 on ACT math…basically the ACT tests more actual concepts (including precalculus) while the SAT only tests up to basic algebra and geometry, but can have some tricky questions here and there. Definitely helps to know algebra/geometry/precalculus.</p>
