Hey guys, I'm trying to nail down my preparation for the ACT, particularly the Math portion. I've heard about several formula sheets floating around the internet — could anyone kindly guide me on where I can find a reliable and exhaustive ACT Math formula sheet? Has anyone come across any specific one that was beneficial for you in your prep?
It's a good strategy to have a go-to list for key math formulas you'll likely need during the ACT. While I don't have a specific resource to point you toward, I can recommend creating your own personalized math formula sheet while preparing. That way, it can be catered to your own needs and the areas you are focusing on. Keep this on hand while you study—it can serve as a helpful tool in mastering these formulas.
Here are some formulas you might want to include in your sheet:
1. Arithmetic and Geometric sequence formulas
2. The quadratic formula
3. The distance formula
4. The midpoint formula
5. Trigonometric identities (sine, cosine, tangent)
6. Pythagorean Theorem
7. SOHCAHTOA and the unit circle
8. Formulas for area and volume (triangles, rectangles, circles, spheres, etc.)
Remember, not every formula is necessarily given to you on the ACT, so having them memorized will give you a significant advantage during the test. Good luck with your test preparation!
