<p>I have less than 2 weeks before test date, and am stressing over the mathematics portion. I am fairly confident in my Science, English, and Reading tests. I've been through a variety of prep books, but math always stumps me. I miss an average of 15 or so out of the 60. Is there any advice anyone has on serious preparation methods so close to the test? Also, even though the question is worn out, which practice tests will be most accurate in difficulty? I initially bought McGraw Hill, (which made me overconfident in myself), and The Princeton Review. Despite some saying that the PR tests are slightly more challenging than the real tests, they still intimidates me. For previous test takers who may be reading, what math concepts should I brush up on before the 14th? I'm in desperate need of response. Mainly on what to expect.</p>
<p>You have to know parallel angle rules! They are literally the easiest way to due geometry problems.
Focus on trig because that is a big deal as well. You could still miss like 15 and get a decent score. If you have no clue guess something bubble it in and continues, and if you have time go back. I would also review systems of equations because that seems to be a major part of the test too. Are you ivy/prestige bound or seeking scholarships? Because if not you should do fine. What score do you need?</p>
<p>I would recommend taking just the math section of an official ACT test, and then identify the areas of weakness. Then go back and review and strengthen the concepts on those topics, and practice with additional practice tests, official ACTs preferred. Repeat this process.</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat, and I’m just doing exactly what SATQuantum said.</p>
