1. ACT Math Review 2 nd Section of the Test

2. Math Section of ACT 60 questions in 60 minutes Pre-Algebra/Elementary Algebra 21 – 27 questions Intermediate Algebra/Coordinate Geometry 18 – 24 questions Plane Geometry & Trig 15 – 21 questions

3. TIPS for MATH ACT Tip#1 – Many problems can be solved w/out the calculator faster than with the calculator. Tip#2 – The questions go from easy to difficult, don’t waste a lot of time on a hard problem. They are all worth the same points.

4. TIPS for MATH ACT Tip #3 – You will be able to test answers for some problems. Tip #4 – Try to guess & test numbers in place of variables to get some answers. Tip #5 – Check to see if the answer you got is what was asked for. (Ex. You may solve for y and the problem asks for 1/y)

5. Try a few problems
