good day, act scholars! today i\u2019m going to talk about something i know you’ve avoided exploring for some time: act math topics. the act math<\/a> section can be scary. all those act math concepts to learn…seriously, if i had to take the act math test right this minute, i would freak out.<\/p>\n

but don’t let my first reaction scare you. it doesn\u2019t mean i can\u2019t guide you through the test\u2019s content. just don\u2019t ask me how to do any of it, and we\u2019ll be fine. in this article, i’ll explore the 5 most frequently tested act math<\/a> concepts and the topics they cover. i’ll also provide you with tons of resource links to help you expand your mathematical knowledge. <\/p>\n

a quick disclaimer: this list does not cover trigonometry<\/a> questions<\/strong>. if you want to know the basics, this is the article for you. if you\u2019re shooting for a 36<\/a>, please check out our trig posts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

basically, all other act math concepts fall into one of five categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. pre-algebra<\/li>\n
  2. elementary algebra<\/li>\n
  3. intermediate algebra<\/li>\n
  4. plane geometry<\/li>\n
  5. coordinate geometry<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    let’s take a closer look at the topics that fall under each of these math concepts.<\/p>\n

    pre-algebra<\/h2>\n

    as the prefix \u2018pre\u2019 implies, pre-algebra questions are\u00a0the most basic (and easiest) of all act math topics. as questions go from easy\u00a0to hard\u00a0on the test, you\u2019ll see these questions first. here are a few topics pre-algebra questions require you to know:<\/p>\n
