Not only will our practice test reveal the math concepts you need to work on, but it will also laser-focus your overall preparations for maximum effectiveness. Meanwhile, our targeted instructional videos and dynamic practice sessions will keep you engaged as you learn. Our sample problems don’t just give you the answer; they illustrate how the solution is reached step by step, making every one of our ACT math practice questions a tutorial in itself. With your confidence back in place, you’ll then be able to take the practice test again, this time with brand new problems. Prove to yourself ahead of time that you’re ready to ace your ACT!
“Oh my goodness, this was the best program EVER! My math ACT score before doing your program was a 17 (horrible. ). After using your program, I took the ACT and scored a 26 on the math. My huge jump was all because of the help I received from you. I told my high school counselor about you, and she is sharing it with all our students and parents. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Whether the ACT or the SAT will be harder for you depends on a variety of factors. Some people perform better on the ACT than the SAT, and vice versa. Unlike the SAT, the ACT requires a deeper knowledge of the math concepts that are covered. For example, the ACT doesn’t supply you with the formulas you’ll need to complete the math section, so you’ll need to have them memorized. This could make the ACT harder.
The SAT, on the other hand, has a higher percentage of algebra questions, along with data analysis and related concepts. So, if you’re not as good at algebra, the SAT will be harder. While algebra is present to a lesser degree on the ACT, you’ll see plenty of concepts that you won’t see on the SAT, such as logarithms. You’ll also find a greater focus on geometry on the ACT. So, if geometry is your Achilles heel, the ACT will be harder.
Fortunately, our ACT math questions cover the entirety of the math section, so you’ll be able to focus on the things you need to learn while ignoring concepts you already know. The ACT is only difficult for those who aren’t prepared.
The ACT or American College Testing exam is a college-entrance test similar to the SAT. It’s divided into four subject focus sections, including English, reading, science reasoning, and mathematics. The mathematics section is sometimes administered alone as a math placement test.
The exam is thorough, covering the full range of high school math, including advanced concepts not found on other exams. Some of the areas covered by the ACT math questions include:
Additional focus areas:
There are 60 questions in total. Not coincidentally, the math section is 60 minutes long, which means that if you average one per minute, you’ll have enough time to comfortably complete the section.
It’s worth noting that the questions tend to get more difficult the further in you go, so it’s best to complete every problem as quickly as possible. This strategy will leave you more time to work on the more challenging material closer to the end.
You can get used to the one-hour limit by first allowing yourself as much time as you need to get through our ACT math practice test, then gradually decreasing the amount of time you give yourself until you can complete the entire practice test in under 60 minutes. However, make sure to maintain your accuracy as you speed things up!
To master difficult concepts quickly, you need an instructional system that breaks problems down into digestible steps and then thoroughly explains each one. Pair this with targeted video instruction and practice sessions that adapt to your familiarity with each concept, and you’ll have a winning combination. Add an ACT math practice test that helps you determine which concepts you need help with and which ones you can skip, and the result will be an efficient learning system that makes the most of your available practice time.
The ACT is a demanding exam, particularly in the math area. However, with proper preparation, any student can score well. All you need is the confidence that comes from knowing that there’s nothing the test can throw at you haven’t seen before.
We wish you luck on your exam!
