<p>Hello ACT math geniuses of CC. I am really struggling on the act math section of the act All of my other subsections are 32+ on practice tests while my Math remains around the 25-28 range. I would really like to get 32+ on this section as well. Any suggestions for websites or anything to learn the material?</p>
<p>Is it that you don’t understand/remember the material, or is it due to other factors (e.g. time pressure, silly mistakes, etc.)?</p>
<p>Time pressure and some problems I don’t know how to approach them, especially Plane Geometry</p>
<p>36 on math from September here. There is really no “secret” in achieving high score in math. It’s very simple - you know it or you don’t. The highest level required for math is trig (mostly utilizing the famous “soh-cah-toa”). </p>
<p>Practice, practice, practice. </p>
<p>Yea I know there isn’t any secret, but how do you guys learn the information? Is it by just doing practice tests?</p>
<p>What’s the highest level of math you have completed in high school?</p>
<p>I’m in AP Calculus AB right now</p>
<p>I don’t mean to offend you or anyone, but students who can take courses that level should be able to solve ACT math questions with no problems. Is it the timing that you are short on or the actual ability to solve the questions?</p>
<p>I mean the algebra questions aren’t necessarily difficult at all. It’s mainly the Geometry that I haven’t done since the 8th grade which, as you should know, isn’t really covered in Calculus…</p>
<p>Because of the annoying Geometry section, I am sometimes short on time.</p>
<p>Then I think you just solved your own question. Start reviewing your geometry. It’ll go a long way. </p>
<p>You know that your problem is that you are too advanced in math. You probably should have taken the ACTa while ago. Review the math from your 8th grade class and focus on math. If you are applying to a school that super-
scores the ACT, you only need to improve the one section even if you go down in others.</p>
<p>@lostaccount I highly doubt “too advanced in math” is the reason for not doing well on ACT math, rather it is, not using/reinforcing material in earlier classes. I didn’t take the ACT until 12th grade (when I was taking AP Stats/learning multi-variable calculus) but still scored a 36 in math.</p>
<p>It’s likely you’ve already learned the topics tested, but maybe forgot some of them. If so, a thorough review of those topics and formulas should easily get you back.</p>
