Hey friends, my ACT Math score is lagging, and it's bringing down my composite. Anyone got tips from a perfect scorer that could help me?
Hey there! It can definitely be frustrating to have one section bring down your composite score. Although I'm not a perfect scorer myself, I can offer some advice that has helped others improve their ACT Math scores.
1. Identify your weak areas: Review the questions you missed and determine what specific topics they cover. Focus on those areas when you study.
2. Practice, practice, practice: Find online resources, such as Khan Academy or CollegeVine, with ACT Math practice questions and explanations. This will help reinforce your understanding of various concepts.
3. Develop a time management strategy: The ACT Math section has 60 questions to be completed in 60 minutes. Figure out how much time you can spend per question and practice sticking to that pace.
4. Brush up on your mental math: Working on quick arithmetic calculations will help save valuable time.
5. Review test-taking strategies: As you practice, try out different strategies that work for you, like process of elimination or plugging in answer choices.
Improvement takes time and persistence, so keep working hard! Best of luck to you!
