ACT Mathematics Test
The standard word
problems are Algebra I, II level mathematics including geometry.
You will be asked to solve fractions related to algebraic equations and
data. These type of questions
requires that you remember algebraic rules and mathematical formulas in some
cases. The ACT test focuses heavily
on exponents so remember your exponent rules and also review your square root
rules. You have 60 minutes to
answer 60 questions on this section of ACT test.
Calculators may be used
on the ACT test. However, many
problems do not require the use of a calculator to solve the problems.
It may be best to work the problems and then check your answers with the
calculator. This way a single
button on the calculator does not give you a wrong answer.
Moreover, always check to make sure your answer is logical.
The ACT test also covers
the basic geometric information including: circles, triangles, angles and
parallel lines. In many cases, you
may be asked to solve for (x) or determine the value of data.
