The test writers have covered all their bases and one of the answer choices is correct. Generally, the correct answer is the answer that identifies the best answer. ACT test writers are trying to make sure that you are competent and have are able to answer the questions in a timely manner.

Another key point on reviewing for the ACT test is know your mathematical equations. ACT test takers are responsible for already understanding the basic mathematical formulas. You must commit these formulas to memory and understand the application of the formula.

If you do not remember the correct formula you will have only a minimal chance of answering the question correctly.
