ACT Math Test Taking Tips 1) The Act Math section draws from a finite body of grade school and high school math subjects. My classes cover these specific subjects that test makers use to formulate questions. Knowing the specific knowledge and skill sets required will definitely improve your chances of getting correct answers. 2) Time is of the essence on the math section. Knowing how to budget your time so you answer the questions that you have a high probability of answering correctly is a key skill I teach in my classes. 3) The final score is based on the total number of correct answers. If you don't know or run out of time, make your best guess. I teach how to use the process of elimination to increase your odds for the more challenging questions. 4) Answer the question asked. Test makers may devise questions so you solve for one answer, but the question requires a different answer. I teach how to avoid this trap by focusing on answering the question asked. 5) Question makers put in road blocks designed to slow you down. I teach students how to identify and overcome these roadblocks so they won't lose vital time. 6) As with other challenges in life, confidence is a key to success. I teach my classes so students not only develop knowledge but also develop the confidence required to score well. |
