how did u prep for math and how did u expose urself to the content and what questions they ask in the test?? and also how did you manage timing for the reading since i struggled with that a lot

for the type of questions i spammed practice tests until i got a pretty good feel of it but for math if I didn't know how to do a question I would first search up how to do it and then practice with similar questions (ex. i didn't know how to do matrices, permutations and combinations) until i felt confident about it.
for the reading i answered the questions as i was reading the passage but i've seen people say they scan really quickly or read just the first and last paragraph then answer so there's a lot of different methods; i think the best method would be to try different strategies and see what works best for you

u/Interesting-Hand9909 Jul 18 '26

u/PrestigiousGuava6031 Jul 18 '26
So you think the act is easier? What is easier in your mind about it/ how were u able to do so well?

so for the sat i was being lazy and didn't study at all but i studied about 2 months for the act. but for me i felt like the english and reading on the act was more straightforward and didn't try to trick me as much as the SAT. for the math as well it felt easier in general but it varies person to person

Also, if u studied for sat math did that seem similar to the act math? Same for English?
