<p>@Peytonmg One thing you need to do is sketch (or come up with in your head) step by step how to solve a problem. And don’t solve it until you know 100% that your method is right. Read every single step the question is asking for and then see how your method accomplishes each step mentioned. Your method should be a straightforward way of solving the problem. If you do this, because there are no trick answers on the math ACT that I am aware of, there will be little to no need of checking you answers (unless you skip some). One of the only mistakes you would make would be a calculator error, and if that occurs, it typically won’t be an answer choice. If you do a question wrong, Just analyze and verify your method step by step again with relation to the question, and check to see if you did every single step right, and if you see nothing wrong, it’s most likely a calculator error. Also, I tend to put off the wordy math questions until the end because I feel obligated to dissect them right then and there because if I don’t, I end up feeling rushed and missing minor details. If you do the simple problems/ones you know how to solve with the method above, the stress will be reduced, therefore you can read the question MUCH easier. It also helps Also to not disrupt your flow. Also, I find that going back to these questions makes it WAAAAAAAY easier to understand than the first time I read it (This happened to me on my last ACT). If it’s a multistep question, make sure you know how EVERY step gets you closer to the answer. Also, regarding content, you have trouble with geometry/trig, so here are some websites to help you.</p>

<p>I’m sure you are probably aware of the method above, but I find when I’m consciously aware of the steps during the test, I do better. Good luck!</p>
