I'm in an "ACT Prep Course" (yeah, yeah), and this week they gave us a practice math session to do at home. I just did the first half of it (well, chugged away for 30 mins instead of 60, and I'll finish it tomorrow). Anyway, I'm bombing the hell out of it. I dunno what's wrong, it seems to be a lot of geometry problems followed by a lot of trig problems, I haven't had trig yet and I had geometry freshmen year, so I've forgotten most of it. I finished the first 25 problems, and I've missed 11 so far. :Q

I'm gonna chak this up to several factors:

a) It's late, I'm exhausted
b) I'm sick
c) I haven't studied or reviewed at all, I just went at it cold

All of which will be taken care of later I guess. Still, it's kind of put me in a sour mood for the evening. :|🙁
 
OK, now I'm really confused. I took the math test in the booklet the ACT people give you (y'know, the orange one that everyone gets, has a full length practice test included). I got a 54/60 on their math one. What's with the difference!? 39, 54? Bah.
 
remember that they are all different... theres a reason why people take it over and over.. besides, the prep course will probably give you tougher questions so the real ones seem easier
 
I didn't take any prep tests... but when I took the actual ACT, I was scared to death that I completely bombed it. I didn't think that I had a clue what I was doing. I didn't even get a couple of sections done (but answered questions randomly so that all appeared to be complete). A few weeks later, I found out that I had scored a 28, which I've been told is excellent. The following school week, the two directors at my school gave me congratulations and told me that it was an excellent score.

Does anyone know otherwise?

like the SAT's, most problems people get wrong are a result of stupid mistakes (and by stupid I mean easy problems that people didn't spend enough time on). You have to pace yourself, and NOT rush the easy ones. Also, the tricks they use usually confines to certain patterns that you learn to watch out for. I'm sure by the end of Princeton Review or Kaplan, you should be well versed in the ways 🙂
